The Pediatric Health, Affect, and Biobehavioral
Research Lab
Welcome to the Pediatric, Health, Affect, and Biobehavioral (PHAB) Lab at Texas Tech University! Our lab examines the interconnections between affect, related biobehavioral processes, and health in youths and young adults with or at-risk for chronic and complex medical conditions.
"Empirical research suggests that the ability to modulate emotional responding in a way that supports one’s goals and maintains physiological equilibrium is critical for psychological, physical, and social well-being across the lifespan"
