The Love Lab (John Gottman)

The Love Lab, founded by psychologist John Gottman, is a research facility where couples are observed and studied to understand relationship dynamics. Using scientific methods, including observing interactions, physiological measurements, and questionnaires, Gottman identifies patterns that predict relationship success or failure. His research emphasizes the importance of positive communication, emotional attunement, and managing conflicts healthily. The Love Lab's findings have informed practical advice for couples, such as the significance of gentle humor, empathy, and turning towards each other during conflicts, ultimately helping partners build stronger, more resilient relationships based on scientific insights.
