Prof. Rose is coauthor of journal article

Paul Rose, visiting assistant professor of psychology, is coauthor (with Sandra L. Murray and John G. Holmes) of  an article, "Putting the Partner Within Reach: A Dyadic Perspective on Felt Security in Close Relationships," that appears in the February issue of the Journal of Personality & Social Psychology (Vol. 88, No. 2, pp. 327-347).  The authors argue that felt insecurity in a partner's positive regard and caring stems from a specifically dyadic perception -- the perception that a partner is out of one's league. The researchers found that putting the partner more within the psychological grasp of low self-esteem people may effectively increase felt security in the partner's regard.
