What are we? The nature of and motivations behind emerging adults' in between relationships

In between relationships (IBRs) constitute relationships that overlap between friendships and romantic relationships. They are characterized by definitional uncertainty, as well as the other types of relational uncertainty identified by Knobloch and Solomon (1999). The researchers conducted semi-structured interviews among emerging adults with ongoing or terminated IBRs. Topic avoidance reinforced the prevalent relational uncertainty among IBRs. Being in an IBR had advantages, such as companionship, perceived safety, and positive feelings, that motivated emerging adults to initiate and maintain them. However, the disadvantages that followed, such as stress, lack of exclusivity, and negative feelings, became a contributing factor to its termination. The researchers also proposed three types of IBRS, and conceptualized a framework that illustrates the development of IBRs

Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science Global Engagement Task Force Report

The Society for the Improvement of Psychological Science (SIPS) is an organization whose mission focuses on bringing together scholars who want to improve methods and practices in psychological science. The organization reaffirmed in June 2020 that “[we] cannot do good science without diverse voices,” and acknowledged that “right now the demographics of SIPS are unrepresentative of the field of psychology, which is in turn unrepresentative of the global population. We have work to do when it comes to better supporting Black scholars and other underrepresented minorities.” The purpose of the Global Engagement Task Force, started in January 2020, was to explore suggestions made after the 2019 Annual Conference, held in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, around inclusion and access for scholars from regions outside of the United States, Canada, and Western Europe (described in the report as “geographically diverse” regions), a task complicated by the COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest in several task force members’ countries of residence. This report outlines several suggestions, specifically around building partnerships with geographically diverse open science organizations; increasing SIPS presence at other, more local events; diversifying remote events; considering geographically diverse annual conference locations; improving membership and financial resources; and surveying open science practitioners from geographically diverse regions
