Who?

Psychology researchers at the University of Surrey are recruiting 7-10-year-old children* and their parents or guardians across Surrey and surrounding areas to take part in an exciting study. 

               *Subject to inclusion criteria on the sign-up form.

What is it about?

The study investigates emotional learning and development, and runs from March 2025 to September 2027. We are aiming for 300 parent-child pairs and have already had more than 100 parent-child pairs visiting our lab. 

What to expect? 

1. A short online survey for the parent/guardian (part of the sign-up)

2. A visit to the lab at a time suitable to you: we have some individual and joint activities for the parent/guardian and the child (approx. 2-3h)

As a thank you for taking part, families will receive a £50 voucher, along with a travel expense voucher covered up to £25 depending on distance.

This study has been approved by the University of Surrey Ethics Committee (FHMS 23-24 188 EGA / ERM ID 1605) and is supported by the Economic and Social Research Council.
