unite Dr. Hardy's diverse research interests are those of relationships and
social interactions as
they relate to child health and well-being. Dr. Hardy is interested in how
relationships and social
interactions function to influence human development, health, and well-being;
how relationships
grow and change over time; and how relationships and social interactions

protect children from
harm. Dr. Hardy’s specialized research skills include behavioural
assessments and methods for
studying social interactions and relationships. Dr. Hardy has specialized
professional knowledge
regarding legal and ethical issues arising in conduct of research with
vulnerable individuals.
