When Close Ties Falter, Do Minimal Interactions Matter? Daily Dynamics of Social Connections and Well-Being
Minimal Social Interactions and Life Satisfaction: The Role of Greeting, Thanking, and Conversing
Recent studies have highlighted the subjective well-being benefits of minimal social interactions (i.e., interactions with weak ties and strangers). However, the empirical work to date has primarily focused on minimal social interactions that involve conversations and relied on Western samples. In this research, we examined not only conversations but also momentary interactions (i.e., greeting and thanking) in a large, nationally representative, …
A theoretical analysis and empirical agenda for understanding the socioecology of adult attachment
The present review introduces the Socioecology of Adult Attachment (SEA) Model which argues that socioecological variation in interdependence is linked to variation in adult attachment processes. Ecologies of interdependence (characterised by blends of ecological threats, interdependent subsistence, and/or residential and relational stability) are associated with caregiving and socialisation practices that predict a relational focus in adult atta…

Individuals who strongly desire closure prefer the status quo, seek familiarity, and dislike uncerta…

Background During the transition to parenthood, soon‐to‐be parents form expectations about how their lives will change after their baby is born; however, these expectations may not match reality. Method We…
Integrating models of marital functioning to understand the mental health consequences of the Great Recession
It is well established that negative financial events during macroeconomic crises have a significant impact on individuals' mental health. Much less is known about how and for whom economic crises impact mental health. Using data from the Midlife in the United States study, we examine the mental health impact of the Great Recession in the U.S. Drawing on predictions from the Vulnerability-Stress-Adaptation Model of Marriage and the Family Stress …
