Current Studies

The Amherst College Peer Relationships Lab is conducting a study on children’s behavior when they feel excited or silly. Study visits are two hours long on the Amherst College campus and are meant to be fun for families and children. For the visit, one parent and one child, ages 8-11, will complete a series of questionnaires followed by multiple exciting games. Kids will earn tickets for their efforts and can use these tickets to get a prize at the end of the study. Parents can receive up to $125 in e-gift cards for participating. We are especially interested in including children who struggle with attention or behavior.
