The Laboratory for Healthy Social-Emotional Development studies children's and teens' social and emotional development in relation to their mental health. We regularly have studies for youths to participate in with their parents, where they get to learn about the brain, research, and contribute. All studies compensate with money for the participants' time.

The Laboratory for Healthy Social-Emotional Development is in the University of Texas Dallas's School of Behavior and Brain Sciences. We are recruiting children,  teens, and their parents to participate in our studies to learn more about how their brain and emotions are like when interacting with social information. These studies are great opportunities for them to learn about the brain, research, and contribute. All studies compensate with money for the participants' time.  For more information about our lab: https://labs.utdallas.edu/devlab/
