Self-introduction
Our laboratory conducts comprehensive research into the impact of positive (e.g., social support) and negative (e.g., interpersonal stress) aspects of interpersonal relationships on individuals' mental health. When conducting our research, we consider personality traits (e.g., empathy) and coping strategies (e.g., interpersonal stress coping).
