Clinical Psychology of Childhood and Adolescence Division

The DyDIA (Dyadic Daily Interactions during Adolescence) study investigates how adolescents interact with their parents and friends in daily life, with a focus on their experiences during these exchanges. For this purpose, we use a Dyadic Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) design, in which adolescents, one of their parents, and a close friend complete short surveys throughout the day about their interactions. We are currently recruiting participants aged 12 to 18 years old, along with one parent and one friend, through schools, partner institutions, and social media.
