Close Encounters: Communication in RelationshipsSAGE Publications, 8 gen 2020 - 664 pagine "Taking a relational approach to the study of interpersonal communication, this best-selling text helps students better understand their relationships with romantic partners, friends, and family members. Updated with the most current research findings and advances in theory, Close Encounters, Sixth Edition offers insightful examples and case studies to show how state-of-the-art research and theory can be applied to specific issues within relationships. While maintaining the spotlight on communication, the authors also emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the study of personal relationships by including research from such disciplines as social psychology and family studies. The book covers issues relevant to developing, maintaining, repairing, and ending relationships. Both the "bright" and "dark" sides of interpersonal communication within relationships are explored, offering a comprehensive overview of the varied dynamics of close relationships. Engaging features in every chapter help connect content to issues and experiences that resonate with students: "Tech Talk" boxes examine the influence of technology on relationships, "Around the World" boxes explore how different cultures view relationships, and "Put Yourself to the Test" self-assessments encourage students to reflect on their own relationships and communication styles"-- |
