Undergraduate Thesis Students

Dr. Rawana’s current research interests focus on emotion regulation using a clinical-developmental lens. We aim to understand the intrapersonal emotion regulation strategies that young people use to regulate their emotions by themselves as well as interpersonally with others. We look at how emotion regulation relates to an individual’s mental health, well-being, mattering, student success, and relationships, including first generation youth (e.g., first in their families to attend post-secondary education in Canada) and those with experiences in child welfare.

Potential honour thesis students should apply through the REACH Lab Undergraduate Volunteer/Research Project Application (use your York student email but do not include the "my" part in the email address. E.g., johnsmith@yorku.ca). Please note that you will be asked to submit your current CV, an unofficial transcript, and a writing sample. Students should have a least a B+ average and have a strong statistical and research background in their previous years of study. Students should propose preliminary research areas when submitting their supervision request.
