About the researcher
Hey, my name is Shaunna Devine. I am a final-year PhD student at Liverpool John Moores University. I research the outcomes of those who have grown up in the UK care system. The current study aims to test the hypothesis that a history of unreliable or disrupted caregiving predicts reduced social regulation of the physiological threat response. This study is part of a larger PhD project.
