I study close relationships among friends, intimates and family members. In so doing, I am interested in the development of relationships, how physical environments are used in relationships (e.g., homes), and the roles of social contexts (e.g., families) in interpersonal processes. This work is based on a transactional/contextual philosophical perspective that incorporates a dialectical approach to psychological phenomena.
