About the Author

Terri D. Fisher is an Associate Professor of Psychology and Program Coordinator at The Ohio State University at Mansfield where she teaches courses in sexuality and developmental psychology. She received a BA in psychology from Wake Forest University and a PhD in Experimental/Developmental Psychology from the University of Georgia. She served as the President of the Midcontinent Region of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality in 2000 and has been a Consulting Editor for the Journal of Sex Research since 1994. Fisher has published numerous studies on gender and personality differences in sexuality, parent-child communication about sexuality, and contextual effects on the reporting of sexual behavior. She is the co-editor of Speaking of Sexuality: Interdisciplinary Readings and the Handbook of Sexuality-Related Measures.

James (Jim) McNulty is an Assistant Professor of Psychology at the University of Tennessee where he teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in social psychology, research methods, and intimate relationships. He received his Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Florida in 2001 under the tutelage of Benjamin Karney. Through his research, McNulty attempts to understand why initially positive relationship beliefs so frequently become less positive over time. In pursuit of this goal, he has published numerous empirical papers addressing how factors such as expectancies, attributions, forgiveness, and behavior are related to the way marriages develop over time. McNulty was honored with the Early Career Award by the Relationship Researchers Interest Group within the Society for Personality and Social Psychology in 2009 and currently serves as a Consulting Editor for the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and the Journal of Family Psychology.
