As an Academic Swiftie, I am delighted that the title of my first solo-authored pub incorporates TS lyrics 🪩🫶 But in all seriousness, feeling more jealous than usual proximally preceded young adults’ intimate partner violence perpetration. Jealousy ≠ love, y’all.

New pub by REACH Lab former RA Lauren Meier - her first first-author pub! This work leaves us with more questions about how LGBQ+ couples may cope together in the context of discrimination to potentially circumvent alcohol-related IPV. Congrats, Lauren!! connect.springerpub.com/content/sgrv...

So proud of grad student Allison Tobar-Santamaria’s first ABCT talk! The Couples SIG put on an excellent panel, reminding us that partners’ individual and cultural identities matter, and interact, in important ways that contribute to relationship and individual well-being. @abctnow.bsky.social
Presentation title slide that reads, “Sexual minority stress and alcohol-related intimate partner violence among bisexual+ couples: A daily diary feasibility study.” Five symposia presenters Symposium title slide that reads, “Identity’s role in romantic relationships: Exploring how cultural and identity-specific factors influence relationship dynamics in diverse relationship compositions and marginalized communities.”
