I graduated with a degree in psychology from the University of Lodz. I worked as a psychologist at the Władysław Biegański Hospital in Lodz. I completed my clinical internship at the Institute of Mental Hygiene at the J. Babiński Hospital in Lodz. Since 1982, I have worked at the Institute of Psychology in a research and teaching position. I have participated in research as part of central research projects and grants at the Faculty of Educational Sciences. I have received numerous awards from the Rector of the University of Lodz for my research and teaching achievements. I am a member of: the Polish Psychological Association, a member of the Board of the Polish Association of Close Relationships; the LGBT Psychology and Sexology Scientific Association; the Scientific Council of the journal "Educational Sciences. Interdisciplinary Studies"; and the Editorial Board of the series "Psychology of Everything."

My research interests include social psychology, particularly the psychology of close relationships—marriage, cohabitation, same-sex relationships, and "dual-career" relationships; binational relationships, as well as risky behaviors; and the health and interpersonal relationships of single people. I analyze the processes occurring in close relationships, assessing their quality and durability. My recent research focuses on the importance of interpersonal commitment in marital and nonmarital relationships, and the phenomenon of oversexualization.
