2023 BEAD Lab Presents at PSYC Research Day and Undergraduate Research Day
Big Emotions Across Development Lab
Lab Mission
We strive to improve the lives of young people. Even children as young as preschoolers can experience clinically impairing mood and anxiety problems. So often these problems go underrecognized and these children and families do not receive the treatment they need. We hope that our research can improve 1) identification of youth who are experiencing emotional problems or are at risk for developing mood disorders as early as possible; 2) our understanding of the multiple and complex causes of mood problems across development; and 3) the development of new ways of assessing, preventing, and intervening in youth mood problems to alter developmental trajectories.
Our lab is committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the research we conduct and in the diversity of our research team. We strive to increase representation of individuals who have been historically excluded from research and to more accurately capture their unique lived experiences. We encourage students from all backgrounds to consider joining our lab and contributing to our mission.
