Researchers examined five types of resilience behaviors that people might enact in relationships to buffer experiences of uncertainty, disruption and turmoil.
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine workshop explored the current health information environment as it pertains to public trust and behavior change. SC&I Communication faculty members Katherine Ognyanova and Itzhak Yanovitzky contributed to the workshop and the published report.
The first event of its kind held by SC&I, it provided an insightful and productive forum where faculty and students spent time together sharing their ideas, strategies, and perspectives as teachers and learners.
After examining resilience behaviors people might adopt to reduce uncertainty in their romantic relationships during Covid-19 lockdowns, new Rutgers research found that two, creating new routines and maintaining a positive outlook, had the greatest impact.
