Andrea L. Meltzer is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University,[1] where she leads the Attraction and Close Relationships (ACR) Lab. Her research integrates relationship science and evolutionary psychology to examine the dynamics of established relationships and factors of marital satisfaction.[2] Meltzer's work has been published in the peer-reviewed journals Science,[3] American Psychologist,[4] and Psychological Science.[5]
Research
editMeltzer's research focuses on the intersection of relationship science and evolutionary psychology, particularly in intimate and long-term relationships. She employs longitudinal studies and multi-method assessments to explore relationship cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Meltzer's work examines factors of relationship satisfaction, including sex differences,[6] body image,[7] individual differences,[8] and hormonal cycles.[9] Meltzer studies sociosexuality[10] and infidelity[11] in committed relationships and has made a significant empirical contribution to the field of close relationships by quantifying the "sexual afterglow" effect,[12] where she analyzed the lingering benefits of sexual activity on pair-bonded relationships.
