What behaviors, traits, attitudes, and relationships are related to high vs.

The PWR Lab conducts social psychological research on how gender and social power interact and support one another in interpersonal relationships and in the workplace. The PWR Lab (for “power, women, and relationships”) conducts social psychological research on how social power grounds and structures beliefs about gender, gender-differentiated behaviors, and interpersonal relationships between men

and women in the U.S. low levels of success for women vs. men leaders over time? What is the experience of sexual minorities in the workplace? How do stereotypes about sexual minorities affect their opportunities to gain access to power and status? How are young people (adolescents and college students) getting together romantically today? How does the nature of early romance and sex differ for ethnic/racial minority adolescents and emerging adults? How do heteronormative beliefs about men and women influence relationship outcomes, such as the occurrence of intimate partner violence?

🎉 Big Congratulations 🎉

📚 A huge shout-out to Nina Dours, ASCP doctoral student, whose master’s thesis has just been published in Psychology of Women Quarterly! 📝✨

Nina's research found women in different-gender relationships—especially mothers—perform significantly more household labor than their partners, which is associated with lower relationship satisfaction. The study also shows that unequal labor division and reduced decision-making power affect satisfaction. Her work is paving new pathways for research and understanding.

Here’s to your dedication, insight, and the lasting impact you’re making, Nina. Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. 🌟

Dear PWR Lab members and friends,

Please help us congratulate DR. Linned Gomez on successfully defending her dissertation yesterday, on the topic of "Psychological safety for diverse workers: How Latine and white, non-Hispanic men and women workers in the United States perceive psychological safety at work".

The first paper in her dissertation qualitatively examines what non-Hispanic White men (n = 9) and women (n = 13) workers see as evidence of a psychologically safe workplace and when it
emerges. In the second paper, the evidence and emergence of psychological safety was qualitatively investigated among Latina (n = 13) and Latino (n = 11) workers. The themes identified in studies one and two informed the third paper, in which a four-way multi-group SEM model was used to compare psychological safety antecedents and outcomes among Latiné women, Latiné men, White women, and White men.

CONGRATS LULU!!!!!!
