How do people foster a feeling of being understood by a romantic partner?
Supervisor: Dr. John Lydon
Hello! My name is Josh and I spent this year working with Dr. Lydon and Hasagani Tissera in the Lydon Lab. We were interested in the ways that people foster a feeling of being understood by a romantic partner. When we believe that our partner knows things about us like our personality, our values, and our emotions, do we feel more understood by them? Do we use this information differently depending on how satisfied we are in our relationship?
