In follow-up work, we will examine sources of interdependence, shared fate, and cooperation (1) among dyads to study bidirectional (i.e., partner) effects, (2) whether shared fate guides partner-choice decisions, and (3) consequences for social integration & wellbeing (9/10).

We would greatly appreciate it if you could help us by sharing our research!
Congrats!
