Current Studies

We're currently running several studies at the lab. Some topics we're focused on include shyness, parent and teen interactions, and stress in family relationships.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the ongoing pandemic, we are pausing all in-person assessments.  We had moved all lab activities virtually.

Shyness Assessment Study

A study investigating the best ways to assess shyness in young adults.  CAIP is recruiting individuals, aged 18 to 25, who may have problems with shyness in social situations, and are willing to participate in our interactive, on-line study.  Participation in this study will involve completing assessments consisting of a series of questionnaires, interviews, and videotaped activities that assess how young adults think and act around each other. The assessments will last approximately 90 minutes, and all will occur online via a teleconferencing platform. The participants will receive $30 to cover the costs of time commitment for the study.

Stress in Family Relationships

CAIP is conducting a study on stress within family relationships. CAIP is recruiting families who have a full time employed parent, a teenager aged 14-16 years, and are willing to come to CAIP to participate in a study. Participation in this study would consist of parents and teenagers coming to the CAIP clinic to complete an assessment consisting of a series of questionnaires, interviews, and videotaped activities that assess how teenagers and their parents think and act around each other. The study would last for approximately 5 hours and you would be compensated for your participation. Families would receive $100 to cover the costs of transportation and time commitment for the study. Of this $100, we would give you $50 and your teen $50.
