Harvard dating research defended against waste charge
Harvard social psychologist Zick Rubin defended a federally funded study on dating relationships after Senator William Proxmire denounced the $121,600 project as wasteful. Rubin said the work, funded by NSF, tracks hundreds of dating couples at four Boston colleges to illuminate how close relationships affect marriage and divorce, with practical applications for counseling. Proxmire urged shifting NSF priorities to scientific rather than erotic curiosity.
