Congratulations @erinhughes.bsky.social for winning the Close Relationships grad student paper award 🏆Her work shows that avoidantly attached folks overestimate how much they’ll lose parts of themselves when in relationships. #SPSP2025 #spspcloserels

I included these slides in a talk recently. I think it went well? #SPSP2025 #spspcloserels

@lydiaemery.bsky.social gave an excellent talk with concrete tips on how to recruit low SES couples. Building trust and flexibility are 🔑 (recognizing that folks may not trust researchers/institutions and may not want to come into your lab) #SPSP2025 #spspcloserels

Huge congrats to @chops310.bsky.social for winning the Rusbult early career award. #SPSP2025 #spspcloserels

TeKisha Rice Wallace reminded us to consider how the personal, professional and political intersect in her great talk on Black Americans’ close relationships.

Harry Reis reminding us that our relationship 💕theories are getting old. #SPSP2025 #spspcloserels

There is nothing as useful as a good shiny app— And here’s one for illustrating the effects of careless responding! #SPSPCloseRels @brettmurpsych.bsky.social

The important data being presented at #SPSPCloseRels congrats @chops310.bsky.social on your well-deserved award!

We are excited to see you tomorrow! Get ready for some stairs!
