Sexual Health, Infidelity, & Family Transmissions (SHIFT) Team
The Sexual Health, Infidelity, & Family Transmissions research team explores how family experiences are associated with adults' later romantic relationships and sexuality. Our work explores how parents communicate and model behaviors which later influence individuals as they enter into their own relationships and become sexually active. We study how and what families teach us about infidelity, sexual health, consent, and sexual violence. Our work examines many facets of sexual violence and infidelity from a variety of theoretical perspectives, including social cognitive theory and feminist theories. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about our research, please contact Dr. Dana Weiser at dana.weiser@ttu.edu.
