How do babies learn about emotions and how do moms' and babies' moods influence each other over time?If you are the mom of a 6-12-month old, we'd love your help with a study trying to figure this out! |
For this study, we're really interested in how babies develop and learn about emotions, particularly how they learn to pay attention to different types of facial expressions and how this may relate to mom's own moods. We're also interested in how moms' and babies' moods influence each other over time.
So, we're asking moms and their 6-12 month old babies to help with a study of how babies change over the course of a year. The study involves coming to the the °®¶¹´«Ã½ University campus once every 3 months for 12 months. At each visit, we'll ask you to complete some questionnaires and an interview and then play with your baby for a few minutes. Your baby will also do a couple computer tasks where we show them pictures of faces with different emotions and see which ones they look at. Each visit will take about 2 hours and you'll be together the entire time. This study has been approved by °®¶¹´«Ã½'s Institutional Review Board.
For each study visit, you'll receive $50 cash and your baby will receive a small gift (you'll receive $250 for completing the full study). We also have a dedicated parking lot and pay for your parking.
