Welcome to the Coping and Regulation of Environmental Stressors (CaRES) Lab!
Our work focuses on environmental stress and how children and families adapt to it. We are particularly interested in discovering sources of resiliency in children and their families and using this information to build programs to strengthen children and families who face stress. We focus on coping, self-regulation, and family support in our basic and applies research studies.
The lab is directed by Martha Wadsworth, Professor of Psychology at Penn State.
