The Regulation and Emotional Development in Youth (READY) Lab

In the READY lab, we are interested in understanding how emotional and self-regulatory development impacts the intersection between mental and physical health across childhood and adolescence. We also pay close attention to the social contexts in which youth’s early development is embedded to rigorously understand pathways of risk or well-being. Our research employs converging observational, physiological, questionnaire, and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) methodologies to effectively capture these key processes and mechanisms in controlled laboratory and naturalistic settings. We are passionate about making a difference in the lives of young individuals through our research and collaborative efforts with the community.
