Families are key sources of social support for the achievement of students of color. Along with common supports like praise and rewards, homework help, and buying materials, families of color use their culture to help students in school!  This "cultural" support is often overlooked in mainstream research on families. 

Help the FAM&I Lab understand the many different ways that YOU support your teens in school and in subjects like math and science!

We are recruiting pairs of parents and teens (in middle school or high school) to complete interviews and surveys about how parents help in school and how teens feel about their schooling and educational experiences and outlooks.

The transition to "emerging adulthood" (age 18-29 years) is marked by social expectations to succeed as a well-functioning adult and a time to explore and understand one's identities. Important questions at the FAM&I Lab are: 

• How do young adults think about their identities based on their race/ethnicity, gender identity/social orientation, and their intersections? 

• How do these identities play a role in how one sees their educational and career achievement, as well as their overall wellbeing as adults?

• How do social figures (parents, other family members, friends, educators, etc.) support one's identity development and achievement?

Help the FAM&I Lab answer these questions!

We are recruiting young adults aged 18 to 29 to complete interviews and surveys about their racial/ethnic identity, gender identity and sexual orientation, and their beliefs about their achievement and wellbeing,
