The ASU CARE Lab is dedicated to finding ways to ensure everyone, no matter their background, can thrive from childhood to adulthood. We believe to understand the psychology of individuals and communities, what is going well and strengths are as important as what is not going well, weaknesses, and disorders. As such, we research interventions and processes that merge positive, developmental, and social psychology theories with a focus on relationships and emotions (e.g., love, gratitude, joy) starting in infancy. We aim to support individuals, communities, and systems to overcome adversity and promote thriving.
