Seeking PAID Participants! Do you and your parent or adult child hold different political beliefs? Have those differences led to conflict in your relationship within the past six months? If so, we’d love to hear from you! We are looking for parent–child pairs (dyads) to participate in a study about how families navigate political conflict. To be eligible: * The child must be between 18–29 years old * You and your parent/child must talk at least three times per week * You must have experienced conflict in your relationship due to politics within the past six months * Both participants must live in the U.S., be fluent in English, have reliable internet, and have access to a computer with a working camera for a Zoom-recorded conversation Each participant can earn up to $80 (or $160 per dyad) for completing 8 study components ($10 each) over a 6-week period. Dyads who complete the full study will also be entered into a drawing for a $100 bonus gift card.
