OUR RESEARCH TEAM
Bridget E. Hatfield, Ph.D.
Welcome to my research lab! I am an Associate Professor in Human Development and Family Sciences (HDFS) in the College of Public Health and Human Sciences at Oregon State University. I joined the OSU faculty in August 2013 after completing an Institute of Education Sciences postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Virginia's Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning. The majority of my work focuses on teacher-child interactions in early care and education settings. However, I also focus on the importance of parent-child interactions and family-educator partnerships. The goal of this research is to identify specific strategies that parents and teachers employ to support adaptive emotion regulation and activity in the stress response system for young children, and then work to translate those findings into practice and policy.
If you are interested in learning more about our graduate program in HDFS, please contact me at bridget.hatfield@oregonstate.edu.

Danielle Zandbergen, MA, LMHC
Hello! My name is Danielle Zandbergen and I am a current PhD candidate in Human Development and Family Sciences at Oregon State University. I returned to school after spending 5 years as an adolescent therapist in a residential outdoor therapy program located on the Big Island of Hawaii. I am a currently licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in the state of Hawaii, and just received my licensure as a professional counselor (LPC) in the state of Oregon. In my role as a counselor, I was able to see the various relational and systemic issues that contribute to an individual's mental health, and was looking forward to starting my program in HDFS so I can address these issues on a more global level through research and policy. My research interests focus on attachment across the life course, and my dissertation project is specifically focusing on the impact relational permanence (lasting and supportive relationships) have on foster youth attachment styles as they transition to adulthood. My additional research interests include exploring the parallels between attachment and psychiatric diagnoses, as well as utilizing and developing evidence-based, emotion-focused interventions. Thank you for visiting the SEARCH Research Lab site and feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!
