Queen’s University + Camp STEAM

Camp STEAM Canada is pleased to support the Development of Social & Emotional Communication Lab (DESC Lab) at Queen’s University in Ontario, with their recruitment efforts for their important research.

As the psychology research group at Queen’s University, the DSEC Lab’s goal is to understand how youth develop emotional communication skills.  In particular, they are interested in how they learn to use nonverbal cues to understand others’ emotional signals and express emotions themselves, we well as how these skills relate to youth’s social functioning and psychological well-being across development. Critically, this information can help provide support to youth who may be struggling with these emotional skills.
