This Project Grant award in the amount of $304,240 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program. The objective of this 3-year project is to investigate the relationship between early-life stress/adversity and the ability to regulate emotional responses in young adults, as measured by the late positive potential (LPP) event-related brain signal. The research involves three studies that will test the impact of...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) Project Grant award of $160,000 supports a two-year postdoctoral fellowship to investigate the contextual, social, and temporal dimensions of emotion regulation. The fellow, sponsored by Dr. Erik Nook at Princeton University, will examine how naming one's emotions impacts emotion regulation, including testing the durability of this effect under different conditions. By using behavioral and...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), will provide $146,373 to support research on adolescents' cross-gender friendships. The goal is to better understand the specific behaviors associated with positive perceptions of these friendships, especially for girls who may be at a disadvantage.
The research will involve observing 60 cross-gender...
