He completed his training at the APA-accredited clinical internship at the University of Illinois at Chicago, Department of Psychiatry, Institute for Juvenile Research. His research program incorporates clinical, social, developmental, and cognitive psychology areas to understand why different informants’ reports of children’s behavior yield discrepant conclusions in research. The goals of his research are to understand how these informant discrepancies influence the science behind identifying effective treatments, and whether they can ultimately be used to understand how children’s behavior varies across contexts, develops over time, and changes over the course of treatment. His clinical research currently focuses on understanding the best ways to assess and treat anxiety and disruptive behavior concerns in children and adolescents. His community-based research currently focuses on what happens to children when the people in their lives do not see important aspects of children’s behavior in the same way. This work has been most recently focused on understanding parental and child reporting discrepancies in whether parents monitor their child's behavior and how these discrepancies predict poor delinquent behavior outcomes in adolescents. Dr. De Los Reyes has first-authored peer-reviewed publications in such journal outlets as the Psychological Review (2006), Psychological Bulletin (2005), Psychological Assessment (2004, 2008), Current Directions in Psychological Science (2008), Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (2004), Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology (2009), and Behavior Modification (2009). He was also a recipient of a National Research Service Award (2002-2007) from the National Institutes of Mental Health (F31 67540).
