<p>Rui Nunes-Costa, Mafalda Serra, Tânia Sousa, Ângela Leite:<br><br>We have reached a decision regarding your submission to Revista Interamericana de Psicologia/Interamerican Journal of Psychology, "Being psychologically abused is not enough into ending a relationship: Sunk cost effect in intimate abusive relationships".<br><br>Our decision is to: Need Revsions<br><br>Dr. Edil Torres Rivera<br>South University<br>ripeditor007@gmail.com</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The article discusses a relevant topic to psychology from an original perspective. In general, it is well written and can be published, although I suggest some minor modifications to improve the quality of your work.</p>
<p>Introduction. There is excessive use of direct quotations of less than 40 words. I suggest keeping only those that are strictly necessary. Also, some sentences are too long, resorting to the use of semicolons when it would be convenient to start a new idea.</p>
<p>Method. It is necessary to specify the design of the study and the sampling technique. Likewise, it would be advisable to provide information on the psychometric properties of the instruments.&nbsp;Are the scenarios and questions the same that have been used as in the Rego Arantes &amp; Magalhães´&nbsp; study?</p>
<p>In the analysis strategy, you mention that you have hypotheses but they are not stated in the introduction.</p>
<p>Results. I&nbsp;recommend presenting the information in tables.</p>
<p>Discussion. It would be interesting to point out the practical implications of these findings</p>
<p>References. 55% of references are not of the last 5 years. I suggest updating the references.</p>
<p>Recommendation: Revisions Required<br><br>------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br></p><br/>The following message is being delivered on behalf of Interamerican Journal of Psychology.
