About

Chad Shenk is a Professor at The Pennsylvania State University in the United States. His research interests include child maltreatment, emotional development, and the impact of early life adversity on mental health outcomes. He has published extensively on topics such as contamination bias in observational research, the association between telomere length and psychological symptoms, and the effects of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. His recent work also explores epigenetic factors related to cognitive functioning and emotional regulation among children and adolescents.
