Wanted: three-year olds for a survey into children's behaviour
A team of experimental psychologists are studying how parents affect their children's social skills in later life. Dr Ted Ruffman and colleagues are looking for up to 90 families to volunteer for the research. The survey will be a three-year longitudinal study of children in natural group settings. The group hopes to ascertain if there is a simple relationship between parenting strategies and children's ability to make social relationships, according to researcher in EP, Lance Slade.
To volunteer for the study, or for further information please contact Lance Slade on (67) 8960.
