The STAR Laboratory is directed by Beáta Bőthe, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the Université de Montréal.​


Mission

The overarching goal of the STAR Lab is to help people living with sexual problems and addictions. ​



Affiliations

We are members of the Interdisciplinary Research Centre on Intimate Relationship Problems and Sexual Abuse (CRIPCAS).



Fundings

We are currently funded by the Soutien à la recherche pour la relève professorale [Research Support for New Academics] from les Fonds de recherche du Québec-Société et culture. 

About us

The STAR Lab seeks to understand the nature and interrelations of sexuality, addictions, and technology. Some of the topics we are interested in include different compulsive sexual behaviors, behavioral addictions, and online pornography use.
​

To achieve our goals, we:

1.
develop well-validated, theory-based assessment tools to identify who may develop problematic vs. non-problematic sexual behaviors and addictions
2.
identify risk and protective factors that help explain why people may, or may not, develop these issues
3.
examine the context of these behaviors that may differentiate between their positive and negative consequences
4.
develop and evaluate innovative prevention and intervention strategies to address these behaviors
