Aims and Scope
The primary aim of Interpersona is to advance interdisciplinary scholarship on interpersonal relationships by integrating perspectives from psychology, sociology, anthropology, communication studies, health sciences, economics, and related fields. The journal seeks to contribute to the development of an integrated science of relationships by encouraging empirical, theoretical, and methodological research that explores the formation, dynamics, and impacts of human connections across different contexts and cultures.
Its scope encompasses a broad spectrum of topics, including romantic and family relationships, friendships, workplace interactions, and community or societal ties. The journal also welcomes studies on the biological, psychological, social, cultural, economic, and technological dimensions of relationships, as well as their implications for health, education, organizations, and public life.
