My lab researches processes, perceptions, and attitudes relevant to communication in intimate dyads across a wide range of important domains; including social support, conflict, intimate partner violence, sexual consent, intimate touch, and sexual and relationship satisfaction. Recent work has focused on: (a) biological factors associated with social support communication, relationship functioning, and relationship quality; and (b) situational and characterological factors relevant to perceptions of partner violence and perceived sexual consent as it relates to sexual violence. I am also interested in the intersection of these phenomena with gender roles, sexual orientation, and substance use. My lab uses a range of experimental, correlational, and descriptive approaches to produce basic scientific insights with translation applications to intervention, policy and public discourse. Currently, I am extending my interest in the intersection of physiological and communication processes in close dyads to the study of psychotherapy interactions.
