Beth Giguere wins CUR Psychology Research Award

Beth Giguere ('14) recently presented on research that she is currently conducting with Julie Longua Peterson, Ph.D., assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, at the annual conference for the Eastern Psychological Association (EPA) in Boston.  Giguere was awarded the EPA CUR Psychology Research Award for her work.

Giguere's presentation, titled "Social Support and Social Networking:  Attachment Style Moderates Support Seeking on Facebook," used a daily diary methodology to explore whether participants use Facebook as a way to seek social connection in response to daily interpersonal conflict.

Analyses revealed that avoidantly attached participants used Facebook for longer periods of time on days they reported more (vs. less) interpersonal conflict, suggesting that avoidants may use Facebook as a less intimate form of social reconnection following negative daily events.
