Happiness: A survey for parents

Happiness: A survey for parents

Social Cognition Lab (University of Miami)

Who Can Participate

Grown-ups with a baby between 2 to 24 months.

What Happens

You will be asked to rate statements about your family, including questions about your baby's behaviors and feelings. For example, you will be asked to rate how often your baby expresses certain behaviors and emotions, such as being "happy," "excited," or "laughing." This survey is for grown-ups, so your baby does not have to be present while you complete it.

What We're Studying

Babies express themselves in many ways like smiles and laughter. These positive expressions are important foundations for their future development and well-being. The goal of this study is to create a survey that captures babies’ emotions. Existing surveys about baby emotions often require in-person visits or focus on older children. This study will try to capture babies’ (2 months to 2 years) emotions using a survey completed by a parent or caregiver. Measuring babies’ emotions, such as happiness, will help us understand their emotions and learn new ways to help them grow into happier and healthier adults.
