On children’s own perceptions of stress. . .

Research on early-life adversity should pay more attention to the perspective of children themselves

The Waisman Center’s Child Emotion Lab is in need of children ages 3-4 and 7-13 who would be willing to participate in an on-line research study from their homes. Each study takes from 15 – 30 minutes and children receive a $10 gift card or $10 monetary compensation for their assistance.

The goal of these studies is to better understand how children learn to understand what other people are feeling, and make decisions based upon that information. We hope that the results of these studies will help researchers develop new educational interventions for children who struggle with social skill development.

These studies do not involve a long-term commitment and do not require any in person visits to the lab. They can be completed from home.

Please consider forwarding this email to friends and family with children between the ages of 3-4 and 7-13. Families do not need to live in the Madison area as participation is fully online.

Thank you for your consideration!
