Interests:

Dr. Willer's research focuses on the communicative management of the dark side of interpersonal, intergroup, and family relationships and how such management impacts individual and relational well-being. The lion's share of her research centers on how adolescent girls and young women communicatively manage social aggression (e.g., gossip, social exclusion, peer manipulation) and the potentially negative and positive outcomes of these processes. Her work has been or will be published in Communication Studies, Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, and the upcoming edition The Dark Side of Personal Relationships?II. She also has received Top Four Paper Awards from the Interpersonal Communication Division of the Western States Communication Association.
