Bio
Professor Knobloch’s research seeks to understand how people’s interpersonal communication behavior shapes and reflects their understandings of their close relationships. Within that general framework, her work focuses specifically on the ways partners negotiate relationship development, relational uncertainty, and interdependence within romantic relationships. Her current projects examine how people (a) talk about their relationships, (b) process information about their relationships, and (c) experience and express emotion within their relationships.
