Social Influence on Brain and Socioemotional development Lab
The SIBS Lab investigates how salient relationships, such as siblings, parents, and
peers, shape development from early adolescence into emerging adulthood. This lab
utilizes multiple methods (e.g., video-taped observations, neuroimaging, surveys)
to examine the processes through which social relations influence adolescent decision-making,
behavior, and well-being across time. The SIBS Lab ultimately aims to better understand
the social resiliency factors and underlying mechanisms that promote positive youth
development.
