BIO: I am currently pursuing my PhD in Human Development and Family Sciences at Texas Tech University, focusing on partner relationships, long-term relationships, and disillusionment. With a solid academic foundation, including a B.S. in Psychology from Ferdowsi University of Mashhad and an M.S. in Clinical Family Psychology from Shahid Beheshti University, I have refined my research on relationship stability, intimate relationships, and loneliness in close relationships. In addition to my research work, I serve as a Teaching Assistant at Texas Tech University, where I support undergraduate courses in Human Development and Family Sciences. I am a research assistant in the SMITTEN Lab, where I explore idealization and disillusionment in partner relationships. As a passionate researcher, I aim to contribute to the field by deepening our understanding of how relationship satisfaction evolves over time and the impact of disillusionment on long-term partnerships.
