Listen to the original audio · Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Why times can differ in your player

Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopes, and today I'm joined by Dr. Ashley Randall. She is professor in the School of Counseling and Counseling Psychology at Arizona State University. And today we're going to talk about relationship science, sexual minority and gender-diverse individuals in romantic relationships and some other related topics.

So Dr. Randall, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to have you one. Thank you so much for having me, Ricardo.

So before we get into the more specific topics, let me just start with a more general question. So what is relationship science and what kinds of questions do you tackle there? Yeah, so this is a great question and one that I hope will really entice everyone to fall in love, no pun intended with relationship science. Essentially, relationship science is the discovery of how it is that people or groups either initiate, form, engage in relationship maintenance behaviors.
