About Travis
Travis Kelly received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Religious Studies with minors in Computer Science and Human Development from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. There, he worked as a research assistant in multiple labs on projects associated with relationship health, miscommunication, big data, and mindfulness. His thesis focused on how linguistic analysis of big data can help provide a better understanding on how COVID-19 impacted mental health. He then went on to work with diverse populations as a supervisor at the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline while continuing research focused on referential communication. Travis's research interests center around romantic relationships and how factors (i.e. life transitions, miscommunication, and partner investment) can impact relationship satisfaction or change behaviors. In his free time, Travis enjoys exploring nature, reading, and visiting local coffee shops.
