Welcome to the
Program for Research on Identity, Development, & Emotional wellbeing (PRIDE)
We are a psychology research lab based at Massey University that explores questions like…
How do we regulate our emotions when experiencing discrimination?
Why do Rainbow/LGBTQIA+ young people experience more mental distress than their cisgender heterosexual peers?
How can families/whānau help their Rainbow/LGBTQIA+ youth with their emotions?
How can mental health providers better support Rainbow/LGBTQIA+ youth and their families?
What is queer/Rainbow joy and how can we cultivate it?
