Description:

All You Need is Love? What Relationship Science Can Tell Us About Couples' Emotions (McCormick Auditorium, Norris University Center)
What makes or breaks a relationship? This question has long occupied scholars and laypeople alike. Scientific studies show that emotions play a powerful role in intimate relationships. But how can we study couples' emotions? Which emotional behaviors predict relationship happiness and which predict misery? Why do some spouses blow their top whereas others keep their cool during conflict? And how do couples' emotional lives change as they get older? In this lecture, we will discuss insights from relationship science on the role of couples' emotions, watch short video clips, and learn how to spot a fake smile.
