Biography

[edit]

Cassidy received a B.A. in English (magna cum laude) from Duke University. She subsequently attended New York University where she obtained an M.F.A. Cassidy then pursued graduate studies in Developmental Psychology at the University of Virginia where she completed her Ph.D under the supervision of Mary Ainsworth in 1986.

Cassidy joined the faculty of Psychology at Pennsylvania State University in 1988 where she remained until 1996. She moved to the University of Maryland in 1996 and was promoted to Full Professor in 1999. Her research has been funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Cassidy delivered the John Bowlby Memorial Lecture in 2010.

Research

[edit]

Cassidy's research program focuses on attachment, family relationships, and social and emotional development in children and adolescents.[6] Her work expanded the attachment behavioral system developed by John Bowlby, which described internal working models as organized frameworks for understanding the world, developed by infants through experience with their caregivers. Cassidy's work linked secure attachment patterns in infancy with the development of empathy and altruism, school readiness, and successful peer relationships, and insecure patterns of attachment with child psychopathology.[7] Cassidy, along Mary Main and George Kaplan, found that a parent's “state of mind with respect to attachment” was predictive of his or her infant's pattern of attachment, which suggested intergenerational transmission of attachment patterns.[3][8] Her research on attachment theory has important clinical applications for understanding addiction[9] and for developing educational efforts to foster secure parent-child relationships.[10]
