This study is looking at how everyday interactions with a parent can influence children’s social understanding. If you agree to participate, you will first fill out online questionnaires (takes approximately 20 minutes). Then, you, your child, and an experimenter will video chat over Zoom. During the video chat, you and your child may be asked to discuss your everyday activities and feelings (takes approximately 9 minutes) and your child will complete tasks with the experimenter (takes approximately 20 minutes).
This study will be beneficial to the research community as it provides further insight into effects of social interactions and provide a better understanding of how external influences affect children's social understanding (theory of mind).
