RIT Social Development Lab

Curious about what our lab is up to? We are currently trying to understand how family relationships and experiences influence emotions and stress. Parents and their teenage children (ages 13-18) are invited to participate in our research study! If you are interested in helping us, take our screening survey to learn more about the study and what participation involves. https://rit.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6yR11GcMSgRDNzf

If you have any questions, we are available for contact at [email protected]

In a collaborative effort with the University at Buffalo, we are inviting pregnant women and mothers of infants 6 months and younger to participate in the COPE Study - which stands for COVID-19 and Perinatal Experiences.

This research study is entirely remote, much like all aspects of life right now in New York, and requires the completion of online surveys. Click the link to find out more!
