The Social and Moral Development Lab at the University of Maryland is looking for children aged 4-14 to participate in our interactive online studies!
Our research focuses broadly on how children think about fairness, friendship, and their developing reasoning about the social world. Participation typically involves a 15-30 minute video conferencing session with a trained research assistant. For some studies, aresearch assistant will show your child a story using animated illustrations on a slideshow (using shared screen) and ask your child questions about the characters, while other studies involve your child filling out a survey with a research assistant available on videoconference to answer questions.
If you are interested in having your child participate in one of our online studies, please fill out this very brief form in the following link and we will contact you with moreinformation!
