Skylar Hicks, a doctoral student in her fourth year of the program, successfully proposed her dissertation this week. Skylar’s dissertation, Romantic relational aggression among college students: A moderated mediation study of attachment style, romantic jealousy, mate value, and relationship investment, will test a theoretical model aimed at improving our understanding of relational aggression in college students’ romantic relationships.

Skylar completed her master’s thesis in the Spring and has been gaining clinical experience as she prepares to apply for internship this year.
