Acceptance-Rejection Bibliographies

Parental Acceptance-Rejection Theory (PARTheory) measures are being used to research parent-child relationships, intimate adult relationships, peer and sibling relationships, teacher acceptance and rejection, and other interpersonal relationships. The Center for the Study of Interpersonal Acceptance and Rejection, located at the University of Connecticut, fosters and encourages knowledge-sharing. Its goal is to be the world's pre-eminent information resource Center on the subject of interpersonal acceptance and rejection. The Center’s Bibliography and the Extended Bibliography provide complete and comprehensive references for the study of acceptance and rejection.

Center's Bibliography

References cited in the Center’s bibliography use one or a combination of different versions of measures created through the Rohner Center for the Study of Interpersonal Acceptance and Rejection.
