The PEAR Lab is looking for undergraduate students to get involved in our work!
Description of Research
Research interests in the lab involve family relationships, parent-child relationships, child regulation, prenatal stress, maternal mental health, and the effects of the prenatal and family environment on child development.

Participation provides a valuable experience and reference base for those considering graduate studies.
