RICochet : Reseach on community intervention

Laboratory

The research team “Ricochet’’: Research on community interventions is supervised by Professor Annie Bérubé. The various projects led by this team allow to better understand factors that contribute to parent’s involvement in several domains of their child’s live. The team has developed expertise in two lines of research. In the first line, research focuses on the impact of community-based activities for the participating families. Program evaluation is used to better comprehend which program components are most likely to support families. The second line of research aims to understand mechanisms underlying some parents’ difficulty in responding to their child’s needs. Psychological and physiological factors are explored in order to identify the variables associated with parental response. Current studies focus on the impact of emotion perception and stress generated by dyadic parent-child interaction on parent’s commitment to their child.
