Ximena B. Arriaga studies close relationships, focusing on how people form and maintain feelings of security with romantic partners, and on the dynamics of intimate partner violence, including why victims and third parties sometimes justify abusive behavior. Her work combines survey and longitudinal methods to understand attachment (how secure or anxious people feel in relationships) and its links to relationship quality, support-giving, and risk of violence. Prospective students interested in relationship science, attachment theory, or partner violence research may find her work relevant.
Output was high around 2020 (10 publications), dropped to zero in 2021-2022, and has since resumed at a lower, steady pace of a few publications per year.
