Conditions studied: Stress, Parenting

In brief

The specific aims of this study are to: 1.

Examine the association between heart rate variability (HRV) data and momentary self-reports of stress by parents. 3. Conduct a feasibility study to establish the effectiveness of wearables and apps to improve emotion regulation in the short term (minutes, hours) and concomitant social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes over the longer-term (weeks).
