Sarah Foley is a Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the University of Edinburgh's Moray House School of Education and Sport and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Her research focuses on family dynamics and well-being during transitions, particularly among diverse family structures such as elective co-parenting. She is currently engaged in Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funded research examining parent-child adjustment, relationships, and experiences surrounding family arrangements after separation and divorce. Sarah's ESRC-funded PhD investigated the transition to parenthood among heterosexual couples, focusing on the impact of expectant parents' thoughts and feelings about their unborn infant on their interactions. Her post-doctoral research delved into the quality of parent-child relationships and child development, particularly in the context of new family forms arising from assisted reproductive technologies. Sarah's work also involved the creation of the Brief Early Skills Support Index (BESSI), a questionnaire designed to assess school readiness in children.
