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 (a) how dating couples communicate during times of transition, and (b) how married couples communicate when one spouse is suffering from depression.
