About Us
Our Mission
The HEART Lab exists to help adolescents and young adults build healthy, supportive relationships—with romantic partners, family members, peers, and the people who guide them.
We focus on how relationships shape mental health, well-being, and development, especially in today’s digital world.
Who We Are
We are a team of psychologists, graduate students, and undergraduate research assistants at Arizona State University who study relationships during one of the most formative periods of life.
Why it matters
Relationship experiences during adolescence don’t stay in adolescence. They influence emotional health, academic engagement, and how people love and connect well into adulthood.
