Overall Research Project Description:
The current study seeks to extend the literature surrounding parenting stress, mindfulness, mindful parenting, and well-being and mental health outcomes. This project considers how mindful parenting and parenting stress influence parents’ well-being, depression and anxiety. This study considers parenting stress as a predictor for parental outcomes (including positive affect, negative affect, life satisfaction, happiness, depression, and anxiety), and will examine the influence of mindfulness and mindful parenting in these relationships. Biological and adoptive mothers and fathers of at least 1 child aged up to 17 years will be recruited to participate in 1 online survey. 

Research Tasks:
1. Literature review: Undergraduate students will help to conduct literature reviews on mindful parenting, parenting stress, and parents' mental health and well-being. They will read articles related to the topics and summarize key findings.
2. Data collection: Undergraduate students will assist with flyer creation and distribution and promoting the study. 
3. Presentation: Undergraduate students will be involved in preparing presentations for conferences by helping to develop content, design slides, and practice academic presentation.

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Excellent academic writing and communication skills are required. Experience with research methods and conducting literature reviews is recommended. 

Mentoring Philosophy:
My mentorship style stems from my experience as a graduate research assistant at FSU. My research knowledge began in the classroom where I learned about research methods and statistical procedures, but it was furthered by my connections as a research assistant working alongside faculty to assist with projects. As I transition into a role as mentor, I provide students with experience in research so that they may too receive first-hand knowledge in the research process. I am curious of mentee's goals and talents, and proceed in this relationship by respecting their goals and understanding of research and building on their skills. As I emphasize a working relationship and an interactive environment for learning, I promote mutual respect, inclusion, and equity to support students and this relationship. I am hopeful that I too may learn from working alongside mentees throughout the relationship, so that this connection promotes the professional development of everyone involved.
