I am interested in studying (1) physiological processes (autonomic physiology) in interpersonal relationships (i.e. couples), (2) how emotion regulation and relationship variables (communication, relationship quality) may explain when and why certain physiological patterns occur in couples, and (3) how these physiological patterns may foster/inhibit couples’ health and well-being.
