Dubow's research examines risk and protective factors in children's adjustment, the development and implementation of school-based intervention programs to enhance coping with stressful and traumatic events, the development of aggression over time and across generations, and the effects of exposure to ethnic-political violence on youth adjustment, often through longitudinal studies in collaboration with international teams. His scholarship, reflected in over 14,000 citations and an h-index of 56 on Google Scholar, includes key publications such as "Childhood and Adolescent Risk and Protective Factors for Violence in Adulthood" (Journal of Criminal Justice, 2016), "Effects of political violence exposure on the family and parenting environment: The Case of Palestinians and Israelis" (Handbook of Political Violence and Children, 2021), and "Political violence exposure and youth aggression in the context of the social ecological systems and family stress models" (International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2025). He served as Editor of the American Psychological Association journal Developmental Psychology starting in 2016, following prior roles as Associate Editor, and has received grants exceeding $1.4 million from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, National Science Foundation, and others. Dubow has mentored 36 Ph.D. students to prominent positions, earned the Outstanding Contributor to Graduate Education award in 1993, and delivered invited lectures at the University of Cambridge, University of Maryland, and others on violence effects and protective factors.
