Recent quotes and/or interviews in the media from faculty

Larry Rosen“When you dispense with a person, the problem then comes that you still have this image in your brain about them, and it continually morphs and changes through time, adding negative elements–she was mean, he broke up with me, she cheated–as your relationship ends,” –Larry Rosen, professor emeritus and psychology professor, was quoted in the article “The hidden Emotional consequences of de-friending ex-pals and former flames” on the website Quartz.
