Projects
Social Bonding Study
How does social bonding impact the choices we make? We are guided by a powerful desire to belong and those bonds can dictate how we face different challenges. Our study aims to learn more about bond formation and its influence on risk-taking, prosocial behavior, and problem solving. Individuals interested in participating should complete the initial questionnaire, which is forthcoming. We will contact you with some questions to confirm your eligibility.
Social Experiences Study
Our prior social experiences shape how we think and perceive others in our environment. Across a series of three studies, we aim to understand this a bit more by having participants engage in both active and passive tasks and report on their thoughts and feelings while wearing non-invasive sensors (to measure things like blood pressure and heart rate). Individuals interested in participating should complete the initial questionnaire, which is forthcoming. We will contact you with some questions to confirm your eligibility.
Social Support Study
When the going gets tough, we often turn to people close to us to help us get through difficult times. However, this can be a bit more challenging if you can’t find people who understand your experiences. This study aims to identify who people turn to and what social support looks like for members of LGBTQ communities. Individuals interested in participating should complete the initial questionnaire, which is forthcoming. We will contact you with some questions to confirm your eligibility.
