Couples Underestimate Positive Affective Reactions to Financial Conversations
Falling in love, moving in together, and raising a family are exciting milestones for couples; importantly, money is a critical component of all these experiences. While couples generally merge their financial lives as their relationship becomes more committed, partners often struggle with financial communication. Across three diary studies using a two-wave prospective–retrospective design, we examine how romantic partners perceive—and ultimately…
Love, Lies, and Money: Financial Infidelity in Romantic Relationships
Romantic relationships are built on trust, but partners are not always honest about their financial behavior-they may hide spending, debt, and savings from one another. This article introduces the construct of financial infidelity, defined as "engaging in any financial behavior expected to be disapproved of by one's romantic partner and intentionally failing to disclose this behavior to them." We develop and validate the Financial Infidelity Scal…
Stranger Danger: When and Why Consumer Dyads Behave Less Ethically Than Individuals
While joint ethical violations are fairly common in the marketplace and in workplace, sports-team, and academic settings, little research has studied such collaborative wrongdoings.

Moreover, when two males mak…
