  • Enrolling Participants in Family Emotions Study

    Are you a parent who has experienced something very stressful?

    Parents who have experienced something very stressful and their children (9-12 years old) are invited to participate in the Parent and Child Emotions Study (PACES). This research study is designed to help us learn more about how children manage their emotions. We also hope to learn new ways for parents to help their children learn these skills. This can be especially important for families who have experienced stress.

    What is involved?

    • Participation takes place remotely from your home right now: Adults complete an on-line survey about stressful events that have occurred in your and your child’s life, your emotions, and how you cope with them. Kids answer questions about their emotions during an on-line video chat with a member of the study staff.
    • In about 6-12 months: You and your child will be invited to our lab to meet with study staff for an in-person visit to complete additional questionnaires and participate in activities together.
    • Your family will receive $50 in gift cards for completing the on-line portion and an additional $100 in gift cards for the in-person visit.
