Mood Across Life Transitions Lab

Research in the Mood Across Life Transitions (MALT )Lab at RIT focuses on ways to improve our ability to predict who is most likely to develop depression and anxiety during major life transitions (e.g., starting university, pregnancy, new parenthood). As such, participants in lab studies typically include first-year undergraduates, pregnant persons, and parents who have recently welcomed a new child.

There is a strong methodological emphasis on using smartphones to collect data on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in everyday life.
