In this episode, we get into the nitty-gritty of Anger and Friendship with psychology professor Kelci Harris, Ph.D. We chat about the difference between anger in our friendships versus how it shows up in family or romantic relationships, we exchange some personal stories about conflict in our own friendships, and Kelci shares about her research in personality and intergroup friendships.
