Andrea L. Meltzer is an associate professor in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University,[1] where she leads the Attraction and Close Relationships (ACR) Lab. Her research integrates relationship science and evolutionary psychology to examine the dynamics of established relationships and factors of marital satisfaction.[2] Meltzer's work has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Science,[3] American Psychologist,[4] and Psychological Science [5] and covered in national media [6][7][8] . Meltzer highlights the role of body image [9], sexual intimacy [10], and fidelity [11] in relationship satisfaction.
Research
Meltzer's research focuses on the intersection of relationship science and evolutionary psychology, particularly in intimate and long-term relationships. She employs longitudinal studies and multi-method assessments to explore relationship cognitions, emotions, and behaviors. Meltzer's work examines factors of relationship satisfaction, including sex differences,[12] body image,[13] individual differences,[14] and hormonal cycles.[15] Meltzer studies sociosexuality[16] and infidelity[17] in committed relationships and has made an empirical contribution to the field of close relationships by quantifying the "sexual afterglow" effect,[18] where she analyzed the lingering benefits of sexual activity on pair-bonded relationships.
