Sexual Health and Relationships Lab

What we do

In the SHaRe Lab, we apply theories and methods from social psychology to understand how couples can have happier, more fulfilling relationships and more successfully navigate conflicts of interest.  Our work tests the motivational, perceptual, individual difference, and behavioural factors that are associated with sexual desire, satisfaction, and the maintenance of relationships.  We aim to understand how people select romantic partners, develop and maintain relationships and navigate challenges and transitional periods in diverse relationships.
