We recently had the special opportunity to sit down with Amie Gordon, PhD, an assistant professor of Psychology at the University of Michigan and director of The Well-being, Health, and Interpersonal Relationships Lab. Research in her lab focuses on the interplay between the social cognition, emotions, and biology that shape our closest relationships. In this interview we dive into different aspects of interpersonal relationships, including gratitude, stress, and compatibility, and perspectives on making relationships stronger.
