The Delta Lab (Δ)

The Delta Adult Attachment & Personality Development Lab (Δ) is a scientific research group at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. We study how adults function in close relationships (especially romantic partnerships) as well as how people change across time. We also study LGBTQ+ topics.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with Δ—whether you're an undergraduate student, grad student, member of the greater Dallas area community, or personality enthusiast worldwide.

We've been featured by:
TEDx The Wall Street Journal Forbes Psychology Today NPR The Atlantic lifehacker NewScientist Inc. Huffpost The Dallas Morning News Fox 4 Dallas
