Sheryl Olson specializes in articulating developmental social processes that affect young children at elevated risk for unfavorable adjustment outcomes, particularly high levels of disruptive and aggressive behavior. She is the Principal Investigator of the Michigan Longitudinal Study, which highlights early self-regulatory deficits associated with the development of chronic externalizing problems. Her projects are designed to integrate biological, behavioral, and socio-cultural contributions to the understanding of children's self-regulatory competence and its development. Olson has authored and co-authored numerous publications, including significant studies on impulsive inattentive behavior from infancy to middle childhood, the developmental foundations of externalizing problems in young children, and self-regulatory processes in the context of early disruptive behavior.
