WELCOME TO THE GILLATH LAB
Our research focuses on the psychological and behavioral mechanisms underlying close relationships, with ongoing studies exploring attachment priming influences on physiological responses, how attachment styles affect cognitive performance, and whether AI can function as an attachment figure. By expanding into these cutting-edge areas, we aim to deepen the understanding of attachment processes and relationship dynamics, advancing both theoretical knowledge and practical applications for individual and relational well-being.
