Haylee DeLuca Bishop, Ph.D. joined the psychology faculty at California State University
San Marcos in the Fall of 2018. Her research focuses on social development during
adolescence and young adulthood. She investigates predictors and consequences of close

Research
My program of research focuses on developmentally-salient close relationships in adolescence
and young adulthood, such as peer relationships, romantic relationships, and sexual
relationships. Forming high quality close relationships is an important developmental
task for adolescents and young adults. Moreover, these relationships provide a critical
context for adolescents and young adults to develop social skills and learn how to
navigate conflict. In addition to the publications listed below, recent research in
the lab has focused on:
- Examining the role of these relationships and experiences in college adjustment
- Exploring predictors and consequences of conflict in romantic relationships
- Investigating motivations for dating app use
- Advancing and propagating best practices for measuring these relationships and experiences
