Experiment Demonstration

In the video below, Shaun and Tanya Gallagher demonstrate a project from Shaun's book Experiments for Newlyweds. The experiment is based on recent research into how emotions can be communicated using the sense of touch.

Press

Experiments for Newlyweds author Shaun Gallagher "invites couples — newlywed, unwed, and otherwise — to reenact 50 recent social science studies that illustrate why relationships are so tricky and that reinforce the benefits of supporting each other in large and, especially, small ways. His summaries and takeaways make for a creative introduction to both research and commitment. Gallagher has made solid choices in the studies he presents, with easy-to-reproduce conditions that reinforce proven lessons on how to work together on budgeting, charity, travel, and division of household responsibilities, as well as generally being kind to each other."
