Welcome to the THRIVE Lab!
THRIVE stands for Trauma, Healing, and Resiliency In Violence-free Environments.
​
The THRIVE Lab operates under Dr. Jennifer Langhinrichsen-Rohling in the Health Psychology Ph.D. Program and the Department of Psychological Science at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Our lab's research has three main focuses:
Thriving in Healthcare
Current projects include testing the BITTEN model (Lewis et al., 2019) of past institutional betrayal on health needs and expectations. We are have also been testing the psychometric properties of the two existing instruments to assess healthcare institutional betrayal
Thriving after Sexual Assault
​Across the past five years, we have worked with police departments, campus resources, and the Title IX office to facilitate effective, trauma-informed prevention and response practices to sexual assault, harassment, and dating violence. We are also part of the National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative.
Thriving
Relationships
​
Our relationship team is most recently exploring the process by which relationship partners disclose a childhood history of violence to one another. We also have also been considering the relationship dynamics associated with infidelity, dating violence, and the pandemic.
