Join us for our ISR Insights Speaker Series
Wednesday, April 28, 1pm EDT.
A burgeoning literature shows social ties are integral for health and survival. Kira Birditt‘s program of research focuses on negative aspects of relationships including the extent to which they are irritating, critical, or demanding. In this talk she will discuss the findings from her program of research on this matter.
