Current Projects

We are currently conducting multiple student-led projects that focus on the experiences of first-time parents and parenting research.

These projects explore how parents engage in psychological processes to overcome various barriers during their transition to parenthood. We specifically examine how cultural and intergenerational factors influence their experiences and parenting practices.
