The purpose of this study is to determine whether parents of young children (aged 10 and under) think it is feasible (in other words, doable) and acceptable (in other words, satisfactory) to use a mobile app designed to provide personalized education and enrichment for 10 minutes/day for 14 days. The investigators hope to learn if it is reasonable to ask parents to use one of three different apps and if parents are satisfied with their participation in the study. If so, the investigators can continue to study the effect of these apps on parents' stress in future research.

The investigators also plan to evaluate the effect of these app-based interventions in lowering levels of stress in parents during the COVID-19 pandemic. By conducting this study, the investigators hope to learn if there are specific app-based interventions that will lead to a reduction in stress in parents, improved parental life satisfaction, and improved parent-child interactions. If the results of this study suggest these apps may be promising at reducing stress among parents, the investigators will continue doing research on these app-based interventions.

Parents will be invited to participate in a research study to see what parents of young children (aged 10 and under) think of using one of three different mobile app-based interventions to improve parental life satisfaction. The study will be conducted by Dr. Chelsea Ratcliff and Dr. Hillary Langley, Assistant Professors of Psychology at Sam Houston State University. In addition to learning about parents' satisfaction with these app-based interventions, the investigators also plan to compare the effect of these app-based interventions on levels of parental stress, and on quality of parent-child interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In order to be eligible to participate, participants must be 18 years old or older, and a parent or primary caregiver of a child/children aged 10 years or young. Participants will first consent to participate by signing their name electronically using the mouse at the end of this consent form and providing their name and email address so the investigators can maintain contact. After reading this consent form and agreeing to it, participants will be directed to complete the first survey, which will take about 30 minutes to complete. They will be asked to complete two short questionnaires to determine their eligibility for the study. Participants will receive a $5 gift card for completing the first questionnaire.

After completing the pre-intervention survey, participants will be randomly assigned to use one of three psychology mobile apps. The study coordinator will email them to set up a 15-minute Zoom meeting in order to provide more information about the intervention and to help download the app that they were assigned. After the 14-day period, the study coordinator will email participants a link to a 20-minute follow-up survey, and they will receive a $5 gift card for completing this survey. One month later, the study coordinator will email participants a link to the final follow-up survey, and you will receive a $10 gift card for completing this survey. Thus, participants can earn up to $20 in Amazon gift cards for participating in this study ($5 for the pre-intervention survey, $5 for the immediate post-intervention survey, and $10 for the one-month post-intervention survey).

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Only individuals aged 18 and older will be allowed to participate in the current research (assessed by participant self-report).

At this time, there is no plan to share individual participant data with other researchers.

Participants will have knowledge of the intervention they will receive but will have no knowledge of the other interventions used in the study.
