Pilot study | SAFESORRY

SAFESORRY is a research project funded by the European Research Council that seeks to understand parenting in a changing social world.

With a diverse team of researchers, we aim to better comprehend how the societal, cultural, economic and historical context shapes the way parents educate their children.

At this point, we have no results to share yet. We are currently preparing a pilot study, which will function as a “test drive” before running the major SAFE-SORRY studies. This is important, because several questionnaires had to be translated into French, and we want to first see whether all questionnaires function as they should. The pilot study also will give us some first hints regarding potential causes of overprotective parenting. As soon as we have some results, we will share this on the results page.
