About us

Who we are

Group picture mad at the first in-person meeting of the group in Zürich, 2023

We are a group of researchers from different universities in the U.S. and Europe (Germany, Poland, Switzerland). We all share the interest in dyadic and interpersonal processes (e.g., social support, social control) related to health and well-being, with a particular focus on health-related behaviors. In the context of this collaborative, we jointly work on different projects that all aim to move the research in the area of interpersonal relationships and health behaviors, and physical and mental forward.

If you are interested in staying up to date on learning more about our activities, publications, or future public events please sign up for our mailing list by contacting us through our contact form (please note that mailings will be irregular).
