UTK Families, Anxiety, Cognition, and Treatment Lab

UTK Families, Anxiety, Cognition, and Treatment Lab Research lab for children and families in the Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee

The Families, Anxiety, Cognition, and Treatment (FACT) Lab is based in the Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. We conduct research with parents and children, and our goal is to identify key factors involved in parents’ and children’s experiences of anxiety. We focus on understanding how thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and biology may be related to the tendency of anxiety to run in families. Although much of our research focuses on understanding anxiety, we are interested in the experiences of many kinds of individuals and often work with families for whom anxiety is not a concern. Our research uses a variety of methods, including event-related potentials, eye tracking, behavioral observation, ecological momentary assessment, and self-report. The aim of this research is to develop and refine prevention and intervention programs for parents and children with anxiety. We are committed to using the knowledge we gain from our research to improve the well-being of children and families.
