New article highlights the need for more cross-cultural research on close relationship processes and provides a template for future research. https://t.co/eCQPoeKaA7

When it comes to social interactions, is more really merrier? According to my recent work, the answer is "no!" Findings from two studies suggest that people feel less close after group (vs. dyadic) interactions for both FtF and video chats. Come learn more at my @SPSPnews poster!

@sarahpressman Awesome. One of my intellectual heroes--very fortunate I got to know her at UCLA.

It's been a privilege to work closely with the amazing @jholtlunstad to develop the project. Special shout outs to my student @daisibrand for absolutely crushing it with her first (!) first-author paper here, and to my student Michael Harvey for his machine-learning stats wizardy

Aw, the pleasure is all mine @daisibrand!

Have you wondered who is more likely to ghost? In a new paper in @JoSoPerRel w/ co-first author @NatashaRWood, @RelationScience & Andrew Hale, we found that young adults with a high need for closure may be more likely to use ghosting, but they also hurt worse after being ghosted!
