ROGER BAKEMAN, Ph.D.
University of Texas at Austin, 1973
Chair, Developmental Psychology Program
Director of Graduate Studies

Running throughout my work is a concern with social interaction: how it is observed, how it is described, how it is analyzed. With Josephine V. Brown I have observed preterm and fullterm infants and mothers interacting, and have studied effects of early interaction patterns on subsequent development. With Lauren B. Adamson I have observed prelinguistic infants and toddlers interacting with their mothers and peers, and have studied how such infants communicate before formal language is acquired. With John M. Gottman (University of Washington) I have written a book, explaining general procedural and analytic strategies for observational studies in general. And with Vicenç Quera (University of Barcelona, Spain) I have written articles, books, and computer programs that explore specific analytic strategies for the sequential analysis of systematic observational data.

I have worked with a number of colleagues, analyzing existing archives of observational data. One project (with Mel Konner, Emory University, and Ron Barr, McGill University) has involved observations made some years ago of !Kung infants in Botswana. Another (with Sharon Manne, Memorial Slone Kettering Hospital) has involved interactions between medical staff and children with severe medical problems undergoing painful procedures. Yet another (with Debra Forthman, Zoo Atlanta) has involved ways sloth bears utilize their zoo enclosures. Still another (with Kent Logan, Gwinnett County Public Schools) considered the effects of various factors on the engaged behavior of students with moderate, severe, and profound disabilities who were placed in general education elementary classrooms.

I have also worked with a number of colleagues, analyzing archives of interview, self-report, and other data, primarily related to health concerns, including AIDS. With John Peterson, I have analyzed effects of stress, coping, HIV status, psychosocial resources, and depressive mood in African American gay, bisexual, and heterosexual men. With Alice Demi (School of Nursing, GSU), I have analyzed the effects of resources and stress on family members who provide care to an HIV-infected woman. And with Josephine V. Brown, I have analyzed effects of maternal drug use during pregnancy on preterm and fullterm infants.

At the moment I am interested in applying computer-assisted techniques for coding videotapes, in two contexts. The first (with Lauren B. Adamson) is concerned with the development of shared attention between young children and their mothers as children first learn to use language, and the second (with Julia Perilla) is concerned with communication between Latino couples with a history of domestic violence.

At the undergraduate level, I teach developmental psychology and at the graduate level, I teach courses in multiple regression, multivariate statistics, and observational methods.
