The International Association for Relationship Research (IARR) is an international, interdisciplinary learned society dedicated to promoting research on personal relationships. It was formed in 2004 from the merger of the International Network on Personal Relationships (INPR) and the International Society for the Study of Personal Relationships (ISSPR). [1] Its official peer-reviewed journals are Personal Relationships [2] and the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships . IARR also sponsors the Advances in Personal Relationships book series and publishes a newsletter called Relationship Research News.
IARR proclaims a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion and also to expanding access to researchers and research populations beyond Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, Democratic (WEIRD) nations, as a way of better understanding relationship processes. According to the organization's website (as of May 8, 2024), "it is imperative that the experiences of diverse people and relationship styles and structures are understood through the lens of a myriad of cultures and disciplines." [3] The organization further states that, "Geographical, linguistic, and cultural diversity are essential for understanding how interpersonal relationships are experienced across the globe." [4]

Business communication is communication that is intended to help a business achieve a fundamental goal, through information sharing between employees as well as people outside the company. It includes the process of creating, sharing, listening, and understanding messages between different groups of people through written and verbal formats. The way that people communicate and operate within a business is very vital to how successful the company will be in the business world. Business communication occurs internally, employee-to-employee, or externally, business-to-business or business-to-consumer. This internal and external communication can happen through verbal or non-verbal communication methods. Often these internal and external forms of communication come with barriers, which can prevent the receiver from understanding the information sent by the sender.
