Such a great poster presentation by @DoraHopf about loneliness as predictor for yearning after relationship breakups 💔 from our "social distancing (SODI)" study @EcksteinMonika @DirkScheele85 @aguilar_raab @MedPsychUKHD at @PuG2023

In our large cross-sectional EMA study we found that affectionate touch 🫂 is linked to higher endogenous oxytocin🧪 and subjective well-being 🙃☀��� in times of pandemic: https://t.co/47WqjEDjB9 @DoraHopf @EcksteinMonika @DirkScheele85 @aguilar_raab @MedPsychUKHD @UtaSailer
