Ward Struthers

Ward Struthers is a Professor in the Department of Psychology at York University, where he leads the Social Motivation Laboratory. His research examines how individuals evaluate themselves and others during interpersonal conflicts, focusing on post-transgression responses like revenge, grudge-holding, forgiveness, and reconciliation. This work has significant implications for maintaining relationships across personal and professional contexts.

Research explores intrapersonal and interpersonal factors influencing relationship repair mechanisms, using theories from social, personality, and evolutionary psychology. Current investigations center on neural and behavioral aspects of conflict negotiation in diverse relationship contexts.
