Parent and Toddler Virtual Study

SEEKING A FEW MORE BABY SCIENTISTS!!

This study is investigating the role that early parent-child interactions play in children’s development.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?
We are looking for 18-26 month old toddlers and their caregivers. As this research topic involves language development, we are focusing on families from primarily English-language speaking homes at this time. Participation for this study is home-based and completely online! Therefore, participants should have access to at least one technological device (e.g., a computer or a tablet) with a functional in-built camera and a microphone.

WHAT DOES PARTICIPATION INVOLVE?
You will be asked to 1) Complete an Online Questionnaire taking approximately 15 minutes, AND 2) Participate in a Virtual (Zoom) Session with your toddler, in which you will describe a picture book to your child, and which takes approximately 20-40 minutes.

We have enjoyed our sessions with our participants so far (and reportedly so have the parents). It is an interesting experience, and all our participants are reimbursed: (1) with $10 for participation, (2) virtual activity and colouring pages for your child, and (3) a virtual certificate for completing the study.

INTERESTED? Please get in touch via message or comment on this post. A research student will get in touch with you shortly to provide more information and to enter you to our participant database if you're interested. THANK YOU! :-)

This study has been approved by the University of Otago Human Participants Ethics Committee on 28/03/2022. Reference number 22/023.

Seeking baby scientists!!

Is your child between 20-30 months of age? We’re seeking junior scientists and their parents to participate in our research. Participation is home-based and completely online!

The aim of our study is to investigate how digital technology influences early parent and toddler interactions, your child’s social development, as well as how these interactions differ across social partners.

You will be reimbursed with a grocery voucher for your time, your child will receive a certificate, and a virtual prize pack. We will also share findings from our research with our participants.
