Sam Joel, María Alonso-Ferres, and Hannah Williamson are editing a special issue of Personal Relationships, focused on measurement and assessment issues (broadly construed) in the field of close relationships. We are looking for articles on topics such as:

• Careful validity testing of existing, widely used measures within close relationship (e.g., convergent validity, divergent validity, predictive validity)
• Careful generalizability testing of existing, widely used measures within close relationships (e.g., to different populations, languages, and contexts)
• Validity testing of non-self-report measures in close relationships (e.g., experimental manipulations, observational coding schemes, implicit measures)
• The development and validation of new, improved measures of existing, widely used constructs in close relationships

Initial abstracts will be due December 1, 2024, and the full manuscript will be due a year from then, providing ample time to complete any projects that are currently at a nascent stage. You can find our full call for papers here: https://osf.io/egha5
