Hi!I’m Jocelyn Mueller
I am a first-year Social Psychology PhD student at the University of South Florida. I use a variety of research methods (e.g., experimental, observational, and ecological momentary assessment) to examine how factors such as hormonal birth control, dyadic conflict, and substance use influence romantic relationship quality and dynamics.
Are you and your partner interested in research?
The FLIRRT Lab registry is for couples who’d like to hear about future studies.

ALL PUBLICATIONS →Substitution of cannabis for prescribed medications in the management of anxiety and depression among midlife women: A cross-sectional study
Mueller, J., Attonito, J., Sapp, J., & Villalba, K.
Older women who substitute cannabis for prescription anti-anxiety or anti-depressant medications tend to have higher levels of depression and anxiety, with sleep difficulties and concurrent alcohol use as key predictors of substitution behavior, suggesting that cannabis is an alternative symptom management strategy despite potentially worsening mental health outcomes.
