The purpose of this study is to examine relationships investigating the link between children’s sensitivity to vocal cues and their level of anxiety (vs. comfort) in social situations. This research is important for understanding social anxiety and ultimately developing targeted strategies to support children and improve their social skills and well-being.

In this study, you will complete an online questionnaire (10~15 minutes) about you and your child. Then, your child will engage in a fun activity with a researcher where they will hear the audio responses of two characters (Megan and Jodi) who are being told stories by two other characters: one who tells truthful stories and one who tells tall tales (i.e. unbelievable stories).Is your child between 6 to 12 years old?
The K.I.D. Studies Centre has an interactive online study for you! Engage in fun activities with your child, answer questions, and earn a $10 gift card or a chance to win $50! Your choice.
