Emotion Project
The Emotion Project aims to test the combined effects of neural, physiological, behavioural, and environmental risk factors on anxiety from infancy through adolescence. From 2017, over 800 children-caregiver dyads were enrolled in the study and assessed when the children were 5, 7, or 12 months old (infancy) in the United States of America. Dyads were followed up when the children were 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 and 13 years of age.
