SUMMARY:“Measuring Social Connection: Reflecting on Three Years of The American 
	Friendship Project”
DESCRIPTION:\nThis presentation explores how friendship and well-being a
	re conceptualized and operationalized. Drawing on data and design insigh
	ts from three years of the American Friendship Project\, I will discuss 
	assumptions embedded in existing measures and past findings regarding th
	e state of friendship and well-being. This work contributes to ongoing e
	fforts to improve alignment between how we study social connection and o
	ur theoretical understandings of social life.\n\nNatalie Pennington is a
	n associate professor of communication at Colorado State University. Her
	 research interests are in interpersonal communication and communication
	 technology\, with a primary focus on friendship. She has published over
	 30 journal articles\, including studies in the Journal of Computer-Medi
	ated Communication\, the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships\, 
	and Communication Monographs.\n\nFor more details: https://events.la.psu
