“…Given the importance of friendship as a source of social support for LGBTQ+ individuals, it is not surprising that research published in JSPR and PR has sought to learn more about the types of friendship patterns among LGBTQ+ individuals. LGBTQ+ people are more likely to stay friends with their ex-romantic partners than heterosexuals, mainly because they do not wish to lose the social and emotional support they received from their partners (Griffith et al, 2017). Research on whether the content and quality of LGBTQ+ people's friendships with heterosexuals differ compared to their LGBTQ+ friendships is mixed.…”

The field of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) relationship science has grown significantly over the past two decades, coinciding with rapid changes in the social acceptance of LGBTQ+ people. However, it is unclear to what extent the top two journals in relationship science, the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships and Personal Relationships, have contributed to the field. In this critical review, we analyzed the 2181 manuscripts published in the journals between 2002 and 2021 for whether they included or excluded LGBTQ+ participants, the methodologies used to analyze their data, and their conclusions about LGBTQ+ lives and relationships. The overwhelming majority (85.8%) of manuscripts did not acknowledge LGBTQ+ relationships; however, there have been improvements compared to past research in retaining LGBTQ+ participants within a data set when they were present. We identified 92 manuscripts that contributed to knowledge about LGBTQ+ lives or relationships. We discuss the lack of intersectional analyses and methodological challenges of incorporating multiple forms of diversity within quantitative research. Overarching themes across manuscript content included minority stress, relationship formation, social support, and commitment. Overall, though the research in the two journals has contributed to the literature on LGBTQ+ relationships, our review suggests that scholars do not consider these two journals as a first choice for finding or publishing LGBTQ+ relationship science.

“…What remains less known are the effects of ambivalence within the context of post-dissolution relationships. Although a breakup might be declared, many ex-partners remain in contact or redefine their relationship (Griffith et al, 2017; Mogilski & Welling, 2017). Such contact might result in perpetuating individuals’ conflicting thoughts and feelings about ex-partners, which could hamper their daily well-being and functioning (Sbarra & Emery, 2005).…”

“…Obviously, those who are primarily positive about their former partners should be more likely to attempt reconciliation than those who hold primarily negative evaluations of their ex-partner as they likely anticipate more rewards from maintaining a relationship with the ex-partner (Griffith et al, 2017; Mogilski & Welling, 2017). Those who renew their relationships do so because they have lingering feelings, wish to regain previous positive outcomes, or anticipate greater positive outcomes (e.g., Dailey et al, 2011).…”

Relational ambivalence is conceptualized as having conflicting thoughts and feelings toward one’s partner or relationship. The current study explored how ambivalence about an ex-partner in a post-dissolution stage was associated with breakup distress as well as reconciliation. The moderating role of whether the relationship had previously cycled through breakups and renewals (on-off) or not (non-cyclical) was also examined. The 275 participants completed an initial survey following their most recent breakup (within the past 30 days) and up to five monthly surveys. Analyses showed cognitive and emotional ambivalence were associated with greater breakup distress and a greater likelihood of relationship renewal. Additionally, although cyclical partners had slightly greater emotional, but not cognitive, ambivalence toward their former partners, relationship type did not moderate the associations between ambivalence and breakup distress or reconciliation. The findings provide insights on how ambivalence could be incorporated into research on post-dissolution experiences.

“…The TIPI has been validated in the USA (Jonason et al , 2011) and as an internationally acceptable instrument with a German adaptation (Muck et al , 2007a, 2007b) and in a Spanish setting (Romero et al , 2012). The TIPI has been utilized in a variety of situations (Griffith et al , 2017; Celik et al , 2016; Park and Lee, 2012). The TIPI was selected for use in this current study as a short, validated instrument.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the personality traits common to fraud investigators utilizing the ten-item personality inventory (TIPI) instrument. Moreover, the paper seeks to encourage employers and academics to consider identifying the personality traits common to fraud investigators in hiring and educating potential future investigators. Design/methodology/approach A survey was administered to 183 professionals using the TIPI instrument Findings The professionals surveyed self-reported a high level of conscientiousness, measured as a mean of > 12 on a scale of 14. A secondary finding is that the professionals surveyed who are “more experienced” at fraud investigation exhibit more openness and less neuroticism than those with less investigation experience. Research limitations/implications The first limitation is the small number of usable responses (183). A second limitation is that surveys were administered in only two states, and the results may not reflect the general population of professionals who search for fraud. A third limitation is that the survey respondents had a wide variety of careers, and the results may have differed if the survey had been administered to only one type of investigator. Practical implications The results have implications for employers, fraud investigators and academics. Given that fraud is prevalent in all industries around the world, employers may wish to pinpoint current or potential employees who have the personality type(s) that are best suited to detect fraud. Also, academics may identify students who have the personality type(s) that are best suited for a career in fraud detection. Originality/value This the first study to explore the personality types that may identify persons who are well suited for fraud detection.
