In the Sonoma Marriage Lab, Teresa Nguyen and her research team conduct studies to better understand the conditions that allow couples to thrive in their relationships as well as the stressors that can challenge the stability of those relationships. Our research answers questions such as:
What are the best ways to prevent divorce and family disruption? Are communication-based interventions sufficient or effective in protecting families from stress?
How does unemployment or financial stress affect the way that people view their partners and their relationships?
How do experiences of discrimination affect individual and couple wellbeing?
