CEDAR Lab at SPSP 2025

Dr. Lydia Emery presented at the SPSP (Society for Personality and Social Psychology) Close Relationships Pre-Conference in a methods panel on recruiting more inclusive research samples, and gave a talk in a symposium on how relationships are especially key to identities and well-being for lower-SES couples. Dr. Erin Hughes received the Graduate Student Paper Award for our 2025 JPSP paper on how avoidantly attached people believe they are losing themselves in their relationships — despite no external evidence suggesting that they are (see earlier news and a link to the paper). Congrats, Erin!

In addition to presenting, the CEDAR lab had a great joint lab dinner with Princeton University’s ARC lab!
