Selected Projects 20<strong>16</strong>-<strong>18</strong><br />

During my first semester as a transfer student here<br />

at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth I was<br />

presented with an opportunity to join a research study.<br />

My advisor, Dr. Robin Locke-Arkerson, was looking<br />

for interested students to participate in research<br />

conducted in her Child Emotion Center. Research<br />

projects in the Child Emotion Center examine emotional<br />

development in children, with specific interest<br />

in understanding how various emotional, cognitive,<br />

and biological processes influence social and emotional<br />

behavior. Current and future projects of the<br />

center include individual differences in emotional<br />

behavior, emotional understanding, neuroendocrine<br />

(cortisol) and cardiac physiology, attention, language,<br />

aggressive behavior, bullying, victimization,<br />

peer rejection, and loneliness.<br />
