International Association for Relationship Research

The International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) is a professional organization that brings together researchers, scholars, and practitioners dedicated to studying human relationships, such as romantic partnerships, friendships, and family connections. Its goal is to advance knowledge about how relationships develop, maintain, and sometimes struggle, using scientific methods. By promoting research, collaboration, and education, IARR helps improve understanding of relationship dynamics, which can inform therapy, counseling, and everyday interactions. Essentially, it fosters a community focused on better understanding the science behind our connections with others.
