Peer Relations Lab - Lehigh University

This May, our lab celebrated our graduating seniors and all the hard work we did in the 2023-2024 academic year with an outdoor lab meeting on Lehigh’s beautiful campus. Have a great summer, everyone and congrats to our 2024 seniors!!! We will miss you!!!

The Peer Relations Lab had a great showing at the Eastern Psychological Association conference in Philly last week! Our undergraduate researchers presented research on how behaviors during friendship interactions, emotional reactions to friendship interactions, and physiological reactions to friendship interactions affect adolescents’ well-being.

One of our amazing lab members, Sarah McDermott, presented her independent research project at the Lehigh Summer Experience Poster Session this week. Her project examined adolescents’ depressogenic attributions within the context of their conversations with friends about problems. She was supported by a Grant for Experiential Learning in Health. We’re so proud!

The Peer Relations Lab will be at the Farewell to Summer Festival in Emmaus on Saturday, September 16th from 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Come to our table to say hi, learn about our research, and sign up for our study, Teens Talking!
