Analyses of children’s peer relations have recently begun considering interpersonal behaviors and perceptions from the perspective of the Social Relations Model. An extension of this model, the Triadic Relations Model (TRM), allows for consideration and analysis of more complex three-person data to understand triadic processes; separate individual, dyadic, and triadic variance; and model co-occurrences among dyadic phenomena. The goal of this article is to provide a didactic introduction to the TRM and its potential for studying peer relations. The TRM is applied to data from nine classes (N = 162) of third and fourth grade boys and girls involving perceptions (peer nominations) of actors’ (aggressors’) behavior toward partners (victims). We report and illustrate interpretation of 7 variance and 16 covariance estimates from this TRM analysis of who perceives whom as bullying whom. In particular, triadic analyses revealed a tendency for children to perceive others as sharing the same aggressors and the same targets for aggression as themselves. We discuss implications of findings for studying aggression, as well as extensions of this model, such as incorporating multiple constructs or connecting the TRM estimates with individual and dyadic variables, and challenges of using the TRM.

Coaching has often been viewed as a context within which coaches operate to largely bring about changes in athlete’s performance and flourishing. One key factor to successful outcomes in coaching is the quality of the relationship between coaches and athletes. The coach–athlete relationship is at the heart of coaching; however, limited studies have been conducted on its antecedents. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between coaches’ forgiveness and perceived relationship quality toward their athletes through verifying the mediating role of interpersonal behaviors of coaches. A total of 270 Iranian coaches participated in the survey, and the data sets were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results revealed that forgiveness positively predicted the coaches’ perceived relationship quality with their athletes, and this pathway was mediated by the coaches’ interpersonal behaviors.

Humans have an intrinsic need to form and maintain interpersonal relationships. Therefore, difficulties and problems in interpersonal functioning are likely to influence and be influenced by mental health outcomes such as depression. In this chapter, key theories and empirical findings regarding interpersonal perspectives on depression are reviewed. Specifically, the review focuses on problematic interpersonal characteristics and processes (i.e., excessive reassurance seeking and rejection, circumplex models of problematic interpersonal behaviors, interpersonal stress and stress generation, anxious and avoidant attachment, social skills deficits) and poor quality interpersonal relationships (i.e., marriage and intimate relationships, family relationships) that are associated with the onset, severity, and course of depression. Implications of these interpersonal perspectives for the treatment of depression are also reviewed, and suggestions for future research are advanced.
