Study on Health and Regulating Emotions (SHARE)
This study aims to assess the relationship between health behaviors and emotional experiences in parents and their biological offspring. This study is currently recruiting participants from the community. Participation is compensated. If you are interested in potentially being a participant in this study, please contact us at harc@rit.edu. PIs: Dr. Baschnagel, Dr. Houston, Dr. Godleski
Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback Mobile App
This project consists of the development of a mobile app to be used in studies studying heart rate variability biofeedback and its relationship to emotion regulation and addiction. The development includes collaboration with students in the RIT software engineering program. The goal is to also make the app available to the general public in the near future. PI: Dr. Baschnagel
Hostility and Impulsivity: Substance Use and Social Relationships
Dr. Godleski is investigating group differences in the relationship between substance problems, hostility, impulsivity, and conflict in relationships. In particular, trying to determine the best way to measure these concepts in college students. PI: Dr. Godleski
Binge drinking, marijuana use, and impulsivity
This study uses a multi-method assessment approach to better characterize differences in impulsivity and executive functioning in college students with a history of binge drinking and marijuana use. A second part of this project will involve the application of heart rate variability biofeedback to improve health outcomes including substance use, physical and mental health, and academic achievement.
