“…A second noteworthy aspect of the articles in this special issue is the variety of methodologies authors employed and the exciting cutting-edge approaches of some studies. In terms of variety there are: experiments (David & Roberts, 2021; Ruppel et al, 2021), qualitative studies (Quan-Haase et al, 2021), a large scale representative survey (Booth et al, 2021), other surveys or questionnaire studies (Russell et al, 2021; Scott et al, 2021), event sampling diary studies (Bayer et al, 2021; Macdonald et al, 2021), analyses of messages (Brinberg et al, 2021; Entwistle et al, 2021; Sharabi & Hopkins, 2021), mixed quantitative and qualitative methods (Fox et al, 2021; Paulin & Boon, 2021), and longitudinal studies (Alexopoulos, 2021; Holtzman et al, 2021; Lu et al, 2021). The diversity of methods may reflect that research on technology and relationships is an area where IARR’s value of multidisciplinarity is thriving.…”
