Academic Appointments: Associate Professor, Psychology Department, Brooklyn College, The City University of New York Degree(s): Ph.D. (Social-Personality Psychology), University of Rochester, Rochester NY Research Focus: I study close relationship processes. My research examines the psychological, physiological, and behavioral underpinnings of the association between close relationship quality and health and well-being outcomes. I use attachment theory and perceived partner responsiveness as frameworks that guide my research questions, and I use a combination of experimental and daily diary research methods. I have conducted research on how the quantity and quality of early adulthood social connections predicts emotional well-being in midlife, how physical contact between romantic partners benefits relationship quality, how support that is not consciously perceived by a partner can be beneficial to the self and the relationship, and how the quality of received support for positive events contributes to personal and relational well-being. My research can be applied to understanding how social experiences contribute to quality of life for cancer patients, their caregivers, and additional close others.
