summer research Conference 2023
SUMMER 2023 LABS
The CEH Lab is directed by Dr. William Tsai.
The Culture, Emotion and Health Lab studies how people regulate their emotions, cope with stress, and how these processes lead to health and well-being. Their research questions focus on how cultural tendencies and values can shape the development and use of these processes
The CONNECT Lab is directed by Dr. Elise Cappella.
The CONNECT lab at NYU conducts research to understand and strengthen contexts for learning and mental health in low-income education settings. This lab’s long-term goal is to increase the likelihood that more young people will have the connections and opportunities they need to succeed in school and life
Intergroup Conflict and Social Change lab is directed by Dr. Rezarta Bilali.
This lab seeks to understand the influence of group identities on intergroup conflict, and the psychological underpinnings of conflict narratives, specifically focusing on group members' denial or acknowledgment of past collective violence, the factors that drive denial narratives, and strategies to address these narratives.
The Infant Studies of Language and Neurocognitive Development Lab is directed by Dr. Natalie Brito.
The ISLAND Lab is interested in the impact of the home environment and early social interactions on children's brain and behavioral development. Their ultimate goal is to understand how to best support and empower caregivers during their child's first three years of life.
The CARA & ABRA Projects are directed by Dr. Sumie Okazaki and Dr. Doris Chang.
The CARA (Covid-19, Asian Americans, Resiliency, and Allyship) Project at NYU aims to understand how Asian Americans are currently responding to two crises: The COVID-19 pandemic and the national protests against police brutality against Black Americans, in particular, occurring against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the rise of anti-Asian discrimination.
The ABRA (Asian and Black Americans, Racism, and Allyship) project examines how geocoded indices of sociocultural climate and structural inequalities (e.g., racial attitudes, residential segregation, economic inequities) interact with individual psychological variables to predict Asian and Black Americans’ experiences, attitudes, and behavioral responses to racism.
RISE (Researching Inequity in Society Ecologically) is co-directed by Dr. Shabnam Javdani and Dr. Erin Godfrey.
The RISE Team advances research and knowledge to improve the lives of traditionally marginalized youth populations, focusing on urban poverty, court-involved women and youth, and adolescents at high risk for court involvement through the rigorous application of translational, interdisciplinary research paradigms
