Growing with Brock

Growing with Brock is a free program connecting the community to research at the Lifespan Institute at Brock University.

Growing with Brock is a new program from the Lifespan Institute at Brock University. It is being developed by a team of researchers who are interested in different areas of development across the lifespan. This is a free program, and anyone can join as we are interested in development across the human lifespan. By joining, members will receive invitations to participate in our new studies. These i

nvitations will tell them about the study, why it is important, what they will do and how they may participate. Joining is never a commitment to participate but simply informs individuals of new participation opportunities. At the Lifespan Institute we are interested in a variety of areas such as well being, face perception, memory, and risk-taking. All of our studies are different and not all involve coming to Brock. For example, our survey studies can be completed at home with a paper copy or online. Whenever a participant does come to Brock, parking is always free and there are reserved parking spaces located conveniently in front of our Lifespan Centre. Children will receive a prize for their participation and adults will usually receive a small gift as a thank you or will be entered into a draw. Other benefits to joining Growing with Brock include our research updates, which highlight the latest in our developmental research findings. Also, members receive invitations to our free Growing with Brock events such as our speaker series. Our speaker series invites experts in their fields to discuss their expertise with the community. Participants are very important to our research and we appreciate all our participants. We make participating as simple and fun as possible. Individuals who have participated in the past have stated they found the experience to be very rewarding. Participants are able to learn a little bit about how we conduct research and can help contribute to new knowledge in important areas of development. Some of our studies give you the opportunity to stimulate and challenge your mind or reflect on your life. Children enjoy coming to Brock and find participating to be very fun. Parents have indicated it is a neat experience to watch a child participate and see what they know! It can be a unique outing for a family, or for an individual, or even for some friends. Many of our studies you can bring a friend to participate with you. Joining is simple as we just take your name, phone number, email and date of birth. Please contact us at [email protected] for more information or any questions you may have.

👩‍🦳🏥👴Do you work or volunteer in a long-term care setting?
🫂🏠🧓Do you provide care for a relative or friend with long-term care needs?

The Zwar Social Psychology of Aging Lab at Brock University is looking for YOU! We aim to study the beliefs, expectations, and attitudes about informal long-term care for older adults with a set of statements that we have collected.

We’re looking for YOU to review these statements and help us improve them with a short survey (10-15 minutes).🕐📕

Your help is very valuable to us!
