Adolescent Resiliency, Well-Being, and Family Interactions:

This online research study aims to investigate whether adolescents’ (14-19 years old) perceptions of parental control and accommodation influence the associations between anxiety-related internal vulnerability factors (e.g., intolerance of uncertainty, behavioral inhibition, behavioral activation, distress tolerance) and important emotional and psychosocial outcomes (anxiety, self-esteem, life satisfaction, well-being, emotional regulation). Understanding these family processes may clarify mechanisms of adolescent mental health and inform family-based intervention strategies.

Interpersonal Relationships Across Development:

In this online research study, adolescents (13-19 years old) provide information that helps to enhance our understanding of the influence that interpersonal relationships have on adolescent anxiety and depression. Specifically, this study addresses how perceptions of environment and one's culture influence and interact with youth presentations of anxiety and depression and certain interpersonal relationships.ÌýRelationships are measured across dimensions of relationship quality, satisfaction, and stability across various types of interpersonal relationships central to adolescence and young adulthood, including parental, peer, sibling, and romantic partner relationships.

Supportive Parent-Child Interactions:

The Supportive Parent-Child Interactions Study is recruiting parents and their biological children between the ages of 9 and 17. In this study, participants take part in two parent-child interaction tasks, where the parent and child engage in discussions and the child completes a puzzle while the parent observes. The parent and child also complete self-report surveys measuring symptoms of anxiety, perceptions of parental behaviors, and emotion regulation. Knowledge gained from this study will allow us to better understand risk and resiliency factors for child anxiety.

Identities and Emotions:

The present study aims to examine how historically marginalized identities moderate the relationship between emotion regulation and internalizing factors. By participating in this study, adolescents provide information that helps to enhance our understanding of the influence that historically marginalized identities have on the development of anxiety as well as the relationship between emotion regulation and attachment which has not been established in this age group. Additionally, this research provides a deeper understanding of emotion regulatory abilities and strategies used among adolescent individuals and how these differentially relate to different attachment relationships and internalizing symptoms.
