The Relationship Center

In the Relationship Center, we study children’s and adolescents' relationships with friends, parents, siblings and romantic partners. Our goal is to understand relationships—what makes them healthy and happy, and what causes problems—so that we can help people improve their relationships. Over the last 20 years, thousands of families have participated in our projects and we have published over 100 journal articles and a book exploring our findings.
