Adults’ Perceptions of Childhood Experiences

We are seeking adult research participants for a one-time completely online survey. We’re examining adults’ perceptions of various childhood experiences and their responses to questions about childhood development. Participants will need to be 18-50 years of age, be able to read/write English well enough to complete the survey, and have reliable internet access. Participation is voluntary and should last approximately 15-20 minutes. To compensate for the time and effort, participants can enter their name and email in a separate linked survey in order to enter a raffle for a $50 Amazon gift card. This information will not be linked to the primary survey. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the student researcher, Ava Roderick: [email protected]

If interested, the link to the survey can be found here: https://missouri.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_4SmeRWbb0Ozodmu

This study has been approved by the University of Missouri IRB: 2098847

Take a listen to Dr. Anna Lindell talk about the importance of siblings during our lifecourse!

Adolescents with siblings experience childhood differently than someone who is an only child.

Congratulations to former FRAD Lab Honors Scholar, Chris Shepard on his first first-authored publication!!!

Put your hands together for Chris Shepard, BS, who's the lead author on this research paper published in the journal Behavioral Sleep Medicine. https://bit.ly/3iprfm5

"Findings indicate the need to reevaluate safety protocols that may impact sleep, particularly that may increase daytime sleepiness, and to develop evidence-based sleep interventions for individuals admitted to inpatient psychiatric hospitals."

We're proud of the work Chris and his colleagues are doing in this critical area!
