Summary

This study looks at how a history of trauma or discrimination changes the way people stay alert to threats and how social support might help. About 45 adults in stable relationships will have their eye movements and pupil size measured while viewing images or waiting for a possible scary sound. The goal is to understand how past experiences affect stress and vigilance, not to provide treatment.
