This $304,240 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program funds research at Haverford College to investigate the effects of adverse and buffering childhood experiences on neural markers of emotion regulation in young adulthood. The project, which runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027, utilizes electroencephalography (EEG) to examine how early-life stress may impact the regulation of emotional responses, including the ability to cognitively reframe reactions to unpleasant stimuli and voluntarily increase responses to pleasant stimuli. The research provides mentored undergraduate research experiences and aims to better understand the mechanisms connecting early-life adversity with altered psychological outcomes. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
