<p>The Michigan Longitudinal Study (MLS) is a long-term multi-project collaboration to describe the interaction of behavior, social influence, brain vulnerability, and genetic risk, as they create the development of risk for, or resilience against the abuse of substances, and as they continue to have impact on health throughout the lifespan. The project's special focus is to archive the real-time observational data collected initially on VHS videotapes and converted to MP4 video format. A total of 2238 social interactional videotapes were recorded involving the Eyberg Parent-Child interaction task carried out separately with each parent, a standardized marital interaction problem solving task, a standardized family interaction task, and undetermined interaction tasks. The current digital video data is a small portion of the overall project database that permits analysis of microlevel social interaction with facial and emotional display characteristics and the examination of its long-term predictive power from childhood to adulthood.</p>Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR38676.v2
