Welcome to IARR.

The International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) is a scientific and professional organization including hundreds of scholars and practitioners focused on stimulating and supporting the scientific study of personal and social relationships. Members of IARR come from around the globe and various disciplines. The majority of members are affiliated with academic institutions (i.e., faculty and students), however many work in industry and/or private practice. The membership draws on those with interest or backgrounds in psychology, communication, sociology, family studies, anthropology, philosophy, and other related disciplines. IARR’s meeting takes place once every other year, with a rotation of the hosting country between North America, and the rest of the world. Learn more about IARR here.
