Humbled and happy to have received a Veni grant by the NWO (Dutch Research Council) to continue my work on ambivalence in close relationships! Especially now, as science funding faces increasing pressure worldwide, I'm deeply grateful for this opportunity. www.nwo.nl/en/researchp...

Calling partnered asexual (including demi-, gray-, or other ace-spec) folks! 💜 🍰 We’re recruiting for a study on asexuality and romantic relationships (broadly defined). Take part or share with your network! Word of mouth is super helpful. 👉 tinyurl.com/acerelations... Open to any nationality

Out now in SPPS 🎉 So happy to share my first publication from my postdoc. This project developed from a student intern's fascinating question: do asexual people benefit from romantic relationships? We tested it. Together with @dsquared.bsky.social, Manuela Barreto, Pamela Qualter, & Jasmine Crosbie

📊 New research challenges a core assumption in relationship science: romantic relationships don't equally reduce loneliness for everyone. A study of nearly 42,000 people finds asexual individuals may not benefit the same way. Read more in #SPPS: https://ow.ly/Uxos50YGsUN

Was a pleasure to see @zoppolat.bsky.social once again present our work testing whether romantic relationship involvement buffers loneliness for asexuals as it has been shown to do for heterosexuals and other sexual minorities at the IARR mini conference in London. Curious about the results?…

With everything going on in the world, it's good to do things you love. Catching up on some of the latest in the science of close relationships, from friendship to romance, to why the love languages aren't real. #relationshipscience #https://www.zoppolat.com/post/relationship-science-roundup-vol-10

Was a pleasure to present my new post-doctoral work at #ASPO2024. I have been attending ASPO (Dutch social psych conference) since I was an eager Masters student, so grateful for this community. And thanks to my collaborator on this project, @dsquared.bsky.social, more to come!

Very proud of @zoppolat.bsky.social for doing an amazing job presenting our work on asexuality, relationships, and loneliness at #ASPO2024. Asexual people are extremely underrepresented in psych research and we hope to contribute knowledge to this community. Stay tuned!

It is cute that my (not-in-academia) partner has been reading my dissertation now that it has officially been printed, but I have also discovered that in Chapter 3 I conducted a "daiRy diary study", not a "daiLy diary study" 🐮🥛 #relationshipscience #oops

Hadn't seen one yet, so started a Relationship Science Starter Pack. ❤️ Know someone who should be in here? Let me know as we rebuild our community! go.bsky.app/fWTMro

Not sure if you are allowed favorites, but this one is certainly mine! Latest paper on ambivalence in romantic relationships now officially out at Emotion. 🥳 doi.org/10.1037/emo0... Pre-print available here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...
