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 2025 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. Emilia Berkes is a M.S. Psychology student at Arizona State University. She also obtained her B.S. in Psychology from ASU in Fall 2023. Her research interests lie at the intersection of positive psychology, social psychology, and clinical psychology. More specifically, she is interested in the development of intervention programs that promote resilience and greater well-being in parents and their children.
