Social Anxiety PerSISTENCE And Remittance in Kids (SPARK)
Social anxiety is common, can become debilitating, and increases dramatically in early adolescence. In this ongoing study, we are measuring how anxious and non-anxious youths’ brains respond to social situations with their peers, and testing if brain response relates to symptoms over the next 2 years. Even if your child isn’t socially anxious, they may be eligible to participate! We are currently recruiting 9–13-year-olds to complete this fMRI study, which is completely safe and confidential! Your family could earn up to $600 for participating. Please click HERE to fill out a brief (< 3 min) screening form if you are interested!
Autism Reward and Cognition (ARC)
In this study we are measuring differences in how the brain responds to social and nonsocial reward among adolescents with formally diagnosed autism spectrum disorder. Even if your child isn’t autistic, they may be eligible to participate so long as they do not have a first degree relative diagnosed with autism! We are currently recruiting 10-15-year-olds to complete this fMRI study, which is completely safe and confidential! Your family could earn up to $100 for participating.

Social Processing Over Time – Impact
In this study, we are working with parents and primary caregivers of adolescents to help us learn about the brain! Participants fill out questionnaires about their life experiences, then make decisions about winning money and interacting with peers while in a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine (fMRI). The fMRI scan can tell us about what parts of the brain are engaged while parents engage in monetary decision-making and social interactions.

The Role of Individual Differences in Psychosocial Functioning (RID-PF)
This ongoing online behavioral study examines how individual differences in college students impact everyday functioning, wellbeing, and academic success. Participants complete self-report questionnaires about their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and performance in day-to-day and academic life.
