Franiuk and colleagues (2002) distinguished between two implicit theories of relationships (ITRs)-a soulmate theory and a work-it-out theory. The soulmate theory reflects beliefs that finding the right person is important for relationship success while the work-it-out theory reflects beliefs that relationships take effort to be successful. The current research explores the association between the ITRs and relationship violence. Surveying an older sample than a traditional college sample (N ¼ 143), the ITRs interacted with partner fit and relationship length to predict relationship violence. As predicted, for those with poor partner fit, the soulmate theory was associated with low violence early in relationships, but the soulmate theory lost some of its protective benefits in longer relationships. Keywords Implicit theories of relationships, intimate partner violence, soulmatesScholars across various disciplines have long investigated the factors that lead individuals into or keep them in violent relationships.

Native tracer cobbles were tracked on a mixed sand and gravel beach at three temporal scales. Passive Integrated Transponder tags were inserted in 400 cobbles and tracked at monthly intervals over 130 days; tags were inserted in a further 200 cobbles and tracked on days 1, 2, 4, 6 and 16. Despite similar incident wave conditions, opposing directions of dominant sediment transport occurred in the two tag tracer experiments. A new technique was developed using painted cobbles and drone video capture to provide a third set of measurements on 175 tracer cobbles at the scale of individual swash events. Large differences were quantified between net and gross sediment transport rates. Collectively these data provide rare direct comparable measurements of the dynamic and variable nature of sediment transport on gravel beaches across different temporal scales.
