Madeleine Fugère serves as a Professor in the Department of Psychological Science at Eastern Connecticut State University, where she maintains active research and teaching programs in social psychology with emphasis on human attraction and romantic relationships. Her office is located in Webb Hall, Room 131, with Spring 2025 office hours scheduled Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 11:00 a.m. to 12:40 p.m., plus Monday 2:00-2:50 p.m.
Her educational background includes:
- Ph.D. in Social Psychology from the University of Connecticut
- M.A. in Social Psychology from the University of Connecticut
Dr. Fugère's research centers on evolutionary and social psychological perspectives of human mating, specifically investigating physical attractiveness in mate selection, parental influence on adult children's romantic choices, and cross-generational differences in relationship preferences. Her work bridges theoretical frameworks with real-world dating dynamics through empirical studies on mate guarding, policy perception, and intergenerational transmission of relationship standards.
Her publication record (2015-2017) reveals consistent focus on mate preference mechanisms across evolutionary psychology and social cognition domains. Articles frequently examine gender differences in attraction criteria and intergenerational influences, appearing in specialized journals like Evolutionary Psychological Sciences and Personality and Individual Differences, demonstrating methodological diversity from experimental designs to cross-sectional analyses.
She actively mentors student researchers as evidenced by asterisked collaborators in publications, and extends her expertise to public audiences through her Psychology Today blog 'Dating and Mating', which translates academic findings into accessible relationship insights while maintaining scientific rigor.
