KENTUCKY: Meet KY INBRE funded researcher Diane Lickenbrock
KY INBRE’s weekly newsletter series introduces the 2022 KY INBRE funding recipients. This week, meet Dr. Diane Lickenbrock, Western Kentucky University, recipient of a KY INBRE IDeA award: “The funding from KY INBRE has helped us purchase equipment and supplies needed for the project. It has also funded graduate students, as well as summer student research assistants who help with the project. The data from this project has supported NIH grant applications for funding to continue examining contributors of infant emotion regulation development.”
Project Title:
The development of emotion regulation with the parent-infant relationship: Intrinsic and extrinsic predictors
About the project:
Our project examines how mothers, fathers, and infants contribute to children’s ability to regulate their emotions over time. Early infancy is an important time-period to examine the development of emotion regulation, because infants are learning to regulate their emotions during interactions with their parents.
