[Prof. John Caughlin is a faculty at the Department of
Speech Communication, UIUC.  He has a Ph.D from
University of Texas, Austin.  His research interests
are: Interpersonal communication, family
communication, conflict in close relationships,
secrecy and privacy in close relationships.  Professor
Caughlin's current research examines communication in
close personal relationships. The specific foci of his
research are conflict and privacy. Recent projects
related to conflict have examined different reasons
why people in close relationships sometimes engage in
demand/withdraw communication.  Understanding
demand/withdraw is important because it seems to
predict undesirable outcomes.  Professor Caughlin's
other recent work has examined when keeping secrets or
avoiding topics help maintain satisfying
relationships.

analysis of the association between demand/withdraw
and martial satisfaction. Personal Relationships, 9,
