Brief Summary
Caregivers and their child are being asked to participate because the investigators are interested in typical caregiver-child interactions and health behaviors. In particular, the investigators are interested in different ways that caregivers react to and understand their young children's behavior, and their health behaviors.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
Caregiver-Child Interaction Tasks
The subject runners will have caregivers and their child complete a series of tasks that are the sorts of activities they might encounter in daily life. In the first task the subject runners will have caregivers direct their child to clean up toys. In the second task the subject runners will have their child play with some toys while they are occupied on their phone. In the third task the subject runners will give them questionnaires to complete while their child waits on a mat.

Tooth brushing Task
The subject runners will ask caregivers to brush their child's teeth with a toothbrush that the subject runners provide, as they normally would.
3 Minutes per visit
Video-Mediated Emotion Recall
The video-mediated recall procedure (Gottman \& Levenson, 1985; Lorber, 2007) is a procedure by which parents and/or a member of a couple view a videotape of their interaction with their partner or child. While watching the video, they use a dial to rate their experienced emotion and/or cognitions moment-by- moment during the interaction task.

Study Arms (4)
Cognitive Intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe cognitive intervention has parents come up with reasons why their children do things they don't like, until they come up with benign attributions for those behaviors.
Behavioral Intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe behavioral intervention has the parents develop an if-then plan for dealing with conflict and negativity, using strategies to downregulate their own negative emotions.
Interpretation Bias Intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe Interpretation Bias intervention has parents look at "morphed" facial expressions and determine whether the face is happy or angry. Positive feedback is given for rating the faces as happy and negative feedback is given for rating the faces as angry.
Evaluative Conditioning Intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORThe Evaluative Conditioning intervention presents parents with pictures of ambiguous child faces (conditioned stimuli) and pairs them with positive word descriptors (unconditioned stimuli; e.g., sweet; cooperative).
