We offer comments on the eight works contained in the Special Issue, all of which use
advanced methods for analysing interdependencies using variants of the Social
Relations Model (SRM) or the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model (APIM).
After critically discussing the SRM and APIM as used in these works, we describe
similarities and differences between these two approaches. We also discuss the
substantive contributions of this collection and then offer our suggestions for
future development of the two models.
