Poster · Cross-Cultural Psychology

Ghosting (i.e., ending relationships by cutting off contact) is a common phenomenon but has mostly been studied within the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe. We will describe and discuss findings and implications of a cross-cultural project on ghosting knowledge, attitudes, intentions, and behaviors in friendships and romantic relationships.
