What Happens |
In this study, your child will play an emotion prediction game with Wiggle, a friendly alien from another planet. Your child will look at pictures of Wiggle's feelings and guess what he will do next. |
What We're Studying |
We're studying how children learn to predict others' actions based on their emotions. In particular, we're interested in whether labeling emotions for children helps them make these predictions. If so, this could inform the strategies we use to teach kids about emotions! |
