Research Volunteer Opportunity for Parents & Kids Ages 8-12!
*The Feelings in Families Study*
All kids get angry and irritable, but some kids feel like that a lot of the time. These feelings can make it hard to get through the day and can make relationships difficult.
This study will help us learn about:
- How children cope with feelings of frustration or anger
- How children’s emotions impact parent-child relationships
- How parents experience their own emotions
During a 2-hour appointment at the UConn Storrs or Hartford campus, you and your child will be asked to:
- Complete questionnaires about feelings and behaviors
- Complete activities and games on the computer
We are especially interested in families who have children who often feel angry or irritable, but our study is open to children without these difficulties as well. Your family may receive up to $50 for participating in this study.
If you are interested and would like more information, you can contact Dr. Jeffrey Burke or Olivia Derella at (860) 486-1129 or via email at feelingsinfamilystudy@gmail.com.
This study was approved by the University of Connecticut IRB, Protocol #H18-180.
