ASU CARE Lab
Child and Adolescent Relationships and Emotions Lab
Based in Glendale, AZ at ASU West Campus
Director: John Coffey
**I will be accepting students in 2023 and 2024 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. Current Graduate Students Maliyah Donaldson received her bachelor’s of science in Psychology from Grand Canyon University in Spring 2023. She is currently pursuing her master’s degree in Psychology at Arizona State University. Her research interests include: parent and child relationships, mental health disorders, positive psychology, and developmental psychology. She is passionate about using positive psychological methods to assist children, who have serious mental health disorders develop. Sarah Hwang is a Psychology MSc graduate student at ASU focused on researching Child Development within parent-child bonds from a Positive Psychological perspective. She aims to study the physiological benefits of Positive Psychology interventions to help curate culturally responsive treatments and outreach strategies to increase improved wellbeing outcomes. In her spare time, she enjoys working with ceramics and exploring different pockets of the California coastline.
