About the ASPIRE Lab

Welcome to the Adolescent Social Processes and Interpersonal Relationships (ASPIRE) Lab. The ASPIRE Lab is directed by Dr. Ryan Persram and housed in the Department of Psychology at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Our aim is to conduct rigorous, responsible research to understand the correlates and consequences associated with youth social relationships and their subsequent development and well-being.
