The Lab

We are currently updating this website. Please be patient with us during this process. Thank you

Our research in the Laboratory for Social Connectedness and Health centers on close relationships. We study, examine, investigate, explore, and analyze how and why being deeply embedded in high-quality relationship is associated with good health. We also study relationship disruptions (e.g., breakups and divorce) as well as various forms of social disconnection (e.g., loneliness and social isolation) as risk factors for ill-health. We pursue open science as a core value, and, increasingly, much of our research centers on causal inference using a variety of statistical tools and diverse research methodologies. Please explore our website, and if you have questions, email Dr. Sbarra (sbarra@arizona.edu)
