ASU psychologist wins lifetime achievement award for shared parenting research

By Laura Fields

For over two decades, Arizona State University Associate Professor William Fabricius has studied the well-being of children from divorced or separated parents, as well as examined shared parenting practices and the involvement of fathers in child-rearing.

Recently, Fabricius was honored for his work with the 2024 Ned Holstein Shared Parenting Research Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Parents Organization.

“Bill’s work not only advances our basic knowledge about shared parenting and child development but also directly impacts policy and community advocacy efforts,” said ASU Department of Psychology Chair Tamera Schneider. “He demonstrates ASU’s innovative integration of institutional goals, effecting meaningful societal impact and change through his research.”
