About the Lab
Professor Young-Eun Lee's research lab focuses on developmental psychology and child well-being, with a strong emphasis on parenting practices, emotion socialization, and early social-emotional development. The lab investigates how parental behaviors—such as emotion talk, discipline styles, and interparental conflict—affect children’s emotion regulation and behavioral outcomes, particularly in high-risk and low-income families. Research also extends to the cultural and educational dimensions of food and nutrition, exploring the conceptualization of Korean dietary patterns and their health implications. The lab employs mixed-methods approaches, combining observational data, self-reports, and standardized assessments to inform evidence-based interventions.

15Korea has developed a unique food culture connected to its long agricultural history. Recently, interest in Korean food, especially regarding its health benefits, has greatly increased. However, there are insufficient resources and research available on the characteristics and definitions of Korean cuisine. Researchers and professors of the food and nutritional sciences in Korea began working together in April 2015 in order to establish cohesive definitions and concepts to be used in dialogue re
The present study investigated whether infants reason about others' social preferences based on the intentions of others' interactive actions. In Experiment 1, 12-month-old infants were familiarized with an event in which an agent either successfully helped a circle to climb up a hill (successful-helping condition) or failed to help the circle to achieve its goal (failed-helping condition). During the test, the infants saw the circle approach either the helper (approach-helper event) or the hind
Abstract This study examined whether children's representations of parenting (perceptions of authoritative discipline and empathy) moderated the association between harsh punishment—including corporal punishment (CP) and verbal punishment (VP)—and children's emotion regulation at the age of five years. Participants were 559 low‐income mother‐child dyads. Maternal self‐reports and home observations were used to measure punishment. Children's representations were assessed using the MacArthur Story
Toddlers at highest risk, those with more early behavioral problems from higher demographic-risk families, benefit the most from mothers' emotion talk. Informing parents about the use of emotion talk may be a cost-effective, simple strategy to support at-risk toddlers' social-emotional development and reduce behavioral problems.
The purpose of this study was to investigation the importance and categorization of task elements of school food service dietician and to provide the useful data for standard model of the dietician′s tasks of school foodservice. This study was conducted in school food services nationwide in method of written questionnaire. The questionnaires were mailed to the dieticians of 3 type school foodservice system-conventional, commissary, joint management. Of the 660 schools that participated in this s
This study examined the effects of destructive and constructive interparental conflict on unsupportive parental emotion socialization behaviors ( N = 166 parents of toddlers). Both mothers and fathers completed measures of destructive and constructive interparental conflict and emotion dismissing beliefs and unsupportive responses to toddlers’ expressions of negative emotions such as anger, fear, and sadness. Multilevel modeling for the actor–partner interdependence model indicated spillover eff
The purpose of this study was to investigate the operation and management systems of the school food services in Korea and to provide useful data fur improving the quality of the school food services. This study was conducted in school food service operations nationwide using a written questionnaire. The questionnaires were mailed to the dieticians of three types of school food service systems-conventional, commissary, and joint-management. Of the 660 schools that participated in this study, the
This study examined the association between interparental conflict and inhibitory control of Korean children, and it investigated whether this relationship is mediated by the single latent variable of emotional insecurity or by three dimensions of emotional insecurity (i.e., involvement, emotional reactivity, and avoidance). A total of 166 mother-father dyads with Korean children aged 3-5 years participated in a short-term longitudinal survey at two-time points. Both parents completed measures o
Introduction: The exploration of the relationship between parental and child happiness, particularly in the context of shared childcare responsibilities, has not been examined in Korean families. Methods: Using a two-wave longitudinal design and data from 1,403 families from the Panel Study on Korean Children, this study employed the actor-partner interdependence model to examine the dynamics of childcare sharing between mothers and fathers in South Korea. Results: Mothers' childcare sharing was
Based on emotional security, stress, and spillover and crossover theories, this study aimed to examine the indirect pathways between destructive and constructive interparental conflict, parenting stress, unsupportive parenting, and child insecurity six months later. Using data from two time points beginning when Korean children (N = 159) were approximately 3–5 years old, two dual-mediation models of the relevant variables were constructed. The results indicate that destructive conflict is associ
본 연구의 목적은 흰 쥐의 상악 대구치를 발거한 후 치주인대세포를 압력을 이용한 저속 냉동 보관법으로 냉동 보관시 치주인대세포의 활성도를 저속 냉동법, 냉장 보관법과 비교하여 평가하고자 하였다. 생후 4주된 암컷 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐의 상악 좌우 제 1,2 대구치를 발거하여 각 군 당 18개의 쥐 치아를 MTT, WST-1 검색에 이용하였다. 실험군은 4개군으로 대조군은 즉시 발치군이며, 4℃ 냉장고에 일주일간 보관한 냉장군, 발치 후 동해방지제 처리과정을 거쳐 4℃에서 -35℃까지 -0.5℃/min 속도로 서서히 냉동시킨 뒤 -196℃에 냉동한 저속 냉동군, 3MPa의 압력을 가하고 -0.5℃/min 속도로 4℃에서 -35℃까지 서서히 냉동시킨 뒤 -196℃에 냉동한 압력 저속 냉동군으로 나누었다. 보존액은 F medium을 사용했으며 동해방지제로 10% dimethylsulfoxide(DMSO)를 사용하였다. 일주일 후 해동하여 MTT, WST-1검색을 시행한 뒤 치
This study investigates the relationships between distinct bioecological profiles of individual, familial, and educational characteristics of preschool children and their school adjustment, academic performance, and executive function in first grade. Data on 11 indicators of personal and environmental characteristics were collected from 1,016 five-year-old Korean preschoolers using a national-level open dataset. Latent profile analysis identified five profiles that were associated with different

The impostor phenomenon, characterized by self-doubt and an external attribution of success, significantly impacts daycare center directors, influencing their leadership effectiveness and childcare quality. This qualitative study aims to explore how the impostor phenomenon manifests among Korean daycare center directors within an ecological framework. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 Korean daycare center directors using grounded theory methods. Analysis identified the phenomeno
