Welcome to the FRESH Lab!

Family Relationships, Emotions, Stress and Health


The FRESH Lab is directed by Dr. Anne Shaffer, and is housed in the Department of Psychology at the University of Georgia.

Our research projects focus on the causes and outcomes of family stress and maltreatment, from a developmental psychopathology perspective. We approach these questions using multiple methods, including questionnaires, observational research, and physiological measures.

On our website you'll find information about our current and recent projects, presentations and publications, and lab members.
