ALOHA! WELCOME PARENTS!


We are a social development research lab at the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa!

Watch a short introduction about our lab!


We are located in the BioMedical Building (Room T-106). We study how kids ages 2 to 13 interact with others in the world around them.


In our lab, we ask questions such as:

How does the media affect who children become friends with?

How do kids choose who to be friends with?

How can parents encourage their children in social interactions?


We invite you to learn more about how to get more involved in our studies!
