I investigate the developmental course of marital distress and dissolution from a scientific perspective. To better understand the antecedents of marital discord, I examine the behaviors, cognitions and emotions of couples. I am currently expanding on this research by determining whether the current body of empirical literature about the predictors of relationship discord applies to low-income couples and people of color. I am also interested in outcome research on programs designed to prevent marital distress and dissolution.
