Emma Louise Armstrong-Carter
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2018
Other Tech - Graduate, Obradvic ProgramCurrent Research and Scholarly InterestsEmma Armstrong-Carter is a doctoral student in Developmental and Psychological Sciences at Stanford University and a recipient of the IES fellowship training grant. She received her BA in Psychology & Neuroscience and Geographic Information Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) in 2016. Emma is amazed by the variation in children’s behavioral, socio-emotional, and cognitive functioning. She studies young children's capacity to contribute to the lives of others--via helping friends, family, and strangers. In particular, she investigates how these types of helping behaviors interplay with children's experiences at school (e.g., self-regulated behavior), and their bodies, using markers of stress-physiology such as cortisol, and autonomic nervous system arousal.
