Project Summary During the COVID-19 pandemic many families are using video chat (e.g., Zoom) to maintain relationships with distant relatives, including grandparents. While 67% of all grandparents reported liking the idea of video chatting with their grandchildren, only 28% did so regularly. Increasing this percentage could significantly improve grandparent-grandchild relationships because our Preliminary Study 1 showed that video chat frequency is a strong predictor of grandparent’s ratings of closeness to their grandchild, even after controlling for the geographic distance between them. The overall goal of our past, ongoing, and future research is to understand the cognitive and social developmental challenges of video chat in order to support its use with children. As the next step towards this goal, we propose to directly compare two approaches to instructing grandparents on how to improve video chats between grandparents and young grandchildren (18-72 months of age). Families will use video chat without the involvement of researchers during each video chat. Parent-child- grandparent triads (n=180; the largest multi-session observational study of young children and video chat to date) will record 10 video chats under one of three randomly-assigned conditions: structured play, structured reading, or when given no instructions (control). Our overall hypothesis is that structured video chat will increase children’s engagement and joint attention (primary outcome measures), as well as grandparents’ enjoyment of video chat and closeness with their grandchild (secondary outcome measures). We will use detailed behavioral coding of the video recordings of these chats to objectively assess many of the outcome measures. Our Preliminary Study 2 showed that structured video chat facilitates more positive social interactions. The proposed work extends our preliminary work because it translates our laboratory methods to a complementary ecologically-valid approach in families’ naturalistic environments. In Aim 1, we will determine whether and for whom structured video chat improves child engagement and increases child-initiated screen- based joint attention during video chats between grandparents and grandchildren. In Aim 2, we will determine whether structured video chat increases grandparents’ enjoyment of the video chats and leads to greater feelings of closeness to their grandchild. PI Myers and Co-I Strouse, who are both at R15-AREA-eligible institutions, are well-qualified to complete the proposed work. Since 2017, they have published 9 papers on video chat, 12 papers on reading, and collaboratively completed 3 preliminary studies and 2 papers. They have mentored 77 undergraduate students, many of whom were co-authors on conference posters or presentations (37; 22 as a presenter) or journal articles (12). Importantly, 17 students came from underrepresented groups (BIPOC, first- generation in college, LGBT). A total of 47 are pursuing or have completed graduate work in health-related sciences, including 15 for doctoral degrees. The proposed work addresses a NICHD CDBB priority of advancing our understanding of “Effects of Technology and Digital Media Use on Child and Adolescent Development.”

项目摘要 在COVID-19大流行期间，许多家庭正在使用视频聊天（例如Zoom）来维持关系 与包括祖父母在内的远亲。虽然67％的祖父母都报告了喜欢视频的想法 与孙子聊天，只有28％的人经常这样做。增加这个百分比可能会大大增加 改善祖父母的祖父母关系，因为我们的初步研究1显示了视频聊天 频率是祖父母与孙子的亲密关系的有力预测指标，即使在控制之后 它们之间的地理距离。我们过去，持续和未来研究的总体目标是 了解视频聊天的认知和社会发展挑战，以支持其使用 孩子们。作为朝着这个目标的下一步，我们建议直接比较两种指导方法 祖父母如何改善祖父母与年轻孙子之间的视频聊天（18-72个月 年龄）。家庭将在每个视频聊天期间使用视频聊天而无需研究人员。亲子 祖父母三合会（n = 180;幼儿最大的多课观察研究和与视频聊天 日期）将在三个随机分配的条件之一下记录10个视频聊天：结构化播放，结构化 阅读，或者没有指示时（控制）。我们的总体假设是结构化的视频聊天将 增加儿童的参与和共同关注（主要的结局指标）以及祖父母 与他们的孙子一起享受视频聊天和亲密关系（次要结果措施）。我们将使用 这些聊天的视频记录的详细行为编码，以客观评估许多结果 措施。我们的初步研究2表明，结构化的视频聊天收藏夹更积极的社交 互动。拟议的工作扩展了我们的初步工作，因为它翻译了我们的实验室方法 在家庭自然主义环境中采用完整的生态综合方法。在AIM 1中，我们将确定 结构化视频聊天是否可以改善儿童参与度并增加儿童发起的屏幕 - 祖父母和孙子之间的视频聊天期间的共同关注。在AIM 2中，我们将确定 结构化的视频聊天是否增加了祖父母对视频聊天的享受，并带来更大的感觉 与他们的孙子接近。 Pi Myers和Co-I Strouse都在R15符合R15的机构， 合格的，以完成拟议的工作。自2017年以来，他们在视频聊天，12篇论文中发表了9篇论文 阅读并协作完成了3项初步研究和2篇论文。他们很重要77 本科生，其中许多是会议海报或演讲的合着者（37; 22作为一个 主持人）或期刊文章（12）。重要的是，有17名学生来自代表性不足的群体（BIPOC，首先 LGBT上大学。共有47个正在追求或已完成与健康有关的研究生工作 科学，包括15个博士学位。拟议的工作旨在提高NICHD CDBB的优先级 我们对“技术和数字媒体使用对儿童和青少年发展的影响”的理解。
