Getting to Know You: The Role of Temperament and Social Perspective- Taking [CLOSED]
Our lab is currently looking for children ages 9 to 11 to contribute to a study in which we are examining how children’s personalities influence the way they think about themselves and their social world and how they choose to interact with others. This study will include surveys, independent and paired games, and being videotaped. This study has been reviewed and received ethics clearance through a University of Waterloo Research Ethics Committee.
We invite you and your child to take part in a three-session online study being conducted at the University of Waterloo by Heather Henderson and her research team. The first online session will last approximately 1 hour and the two follow-up online sessions will last approximately 30 minutes. For your child’s participation, they will receive a $20 Amazon.ca gift card for the first session and a $15 gift card each subsequent session they attend. To be eligible to participate in the study children should be full-term birth with no complications, and without a formal diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactive disorder or autism spectrum disorder.

Child Temperament and Socio-Cognitive Processes: A Physiological and Behavioural Study [CLOSED]
Our lab is currently looking for children between the ages of 9 and 11 (up to 12) to participate in a two part study on temperament, cognitive processes, and social and emotional functioning. This study involves two visits to the lab, each about 2 hours long. In one visit, an electroencephalography (EEG) cap will be used to measure brain waves while the child completes questionnaires and computer tasks. In the second visit, two children (both of which have completed the EEG visit) will be matched up and their heart rates will be monitored while performing behavioural tasks. At the end of each visit, the child will receive a 15$ gift card to Conestoga Mall. If you would like to participate or are interested in learning more, please contact us by phone or email.
