Also of interest is how children behave socially in their familiar environments (home, school, with friends), as seen by parent(s). In order to understand these topics, the research team invites you to reach out if you and your child (both based in the US) are interested in participating.

The process includes a brief Zoom interview with the parent, and a separate Zoom session with parent and and child, who will be asked to tell some stories about related issues (in child-friendly terms). $25 gift card for participating!

so we adults often talk about wealth, poverty, and what it would mean to redistribute resources to those in need… but what do our kids think?

our CAR lab at The New School wants to know more. as social beings in their own right, kids’ thoughts & feelings about these important social issues matter, too!

if you or someone you know has a child 5-8 years old, help us learn more about these issues from a child’s perspective by participating in our Robin Hood Study! all participants will receive a $25 Amazon gift card for helping us with our research :)
