The Child and Adolescent Anxiety Laboratory of Montana (CAALM) was recently established by Dr. Brandon Scott in the Department of Psychology at Montana State University. CAALM is devoted to understanding how emotional factors contribute to anxiety problems in childhood and adolescence. We use physiological, cognitive, and behavioral measures to uncover individual differences in youths' emotion regulation and how these differences relate to anxiety problems. In the end, we hope for our basic science findings will aid our team and others (researchers, mental health professionals) in developing anxiety-focused prevention and treatment protocols for youth.
