Research assistants Ashley Murphy and Caleigh Vocke presented their posters at the 2025 Spring Undergraduate Research Symposium. Murphy’s project focused on reasons parents avoided conversations with their children about the 2024 US Presidential Election, and Vocke’s project focused on factors predicting whether and how often parents engaged in such conversations.  

Research assistants Caleigh Vocke and Kate Freeman shared their experiences as PSY 499 students in the Law and Development Lab, at NC State’s CHASS High Impact Conference. They presented on the work they’ve contributed to our recent project examining parent child conversations about the 2024 US Presidential election. 

During our Lab Party, we had a fun and creative group activity where we made our own flower arrangements! Everyone got to design their own unique arrangement, mixing and matching colors and textures to create something beautiful. It was a great way to relax, be creative, and enjoy some hands-on fun together!
