About this research study:
Help researchers learn more about the emotional development of girls during their adolescence with a goal of being able to detect mental health disorders earlier in a girls life.
Parenting teenagers can be very exciting and frustrating at the same time. The teenage years are a time of transition from childhood into adulthood. They may also feel overwhelmed by the emotional and physical changes they are experiencing.
The purpose of this study is to help researchers learn more about how girls pay attention to emotional information in their environment during adolescence. Researchers hope their findings will improve their understanding of emotional development and the prevention of emotional problems during adolescence.
