Having a baby is an exciting time. But it’s not always easy. It can be stressful and chaotic.
Moms help babies learn about emotions, encourage their baby’s excitement, and try to help their babies feel better when they are upset. But babies also influence how moms feel. We feel excited and happy when they are happy and we feel sad and upset when they are. The goal of this study is to get a better understanding of all these things so that we can better help moms and babies who are struggling.
The study involves coming to the Binghamton University campus once every 3 months for a year. At each visit, we'll ask you to complete some questionnaires and an interview and then play with your baby for a few minutes. Your baby will also do a couple computer tasks where we show them pictures of faces with different emotions and see which ones they look at. Each visit will take about 1.5 hours and you'll be together the entire time. This study has been approved by Binghamton University's Institutional Review Board.
For each study visit, you'll receive $50 cash and your baby will receive a small gift (you'll receive $250 for completing the full study). We also have a dedicated parking lot and pay for your parking.
