Summary This encyclopedia offers an interdisciplinary view of all types of human associations—friends, lovers, spouses, roommates, coworkers, teammates, parents and children, cousins, siblings, acquaintances, neighbors, business associates, and so forth. Although each of these connections is unique in some respect, they share a common core of principles and processes. These three volumes provide a state-of-the-art review of the extensive theories, concepts, and empirical findings about human relationships. It offers a diverse approach to relationship science with contributions from psychology, sociology, communication, family studies, anthropology, physiology, neuroscience, history, economics, and legal studies. Major themes include: Cognitive Processes in Relationships, Communication ocesses, Creating and Maintaining Closeness, The Dark Side of Relationships, Dating, Courtship, and Marriage, Emotion Processes in Relationships, Family, Friendship and Caregiving in Adulthood, Health and the Biology of Relationships, Methods for Studying Relationships, Personality and Individual Differences, Prevention and Repair of Relationship Problems, Psychological Processes, Sexuality, Social Context of Relationships, Social Relations in Childhood and Adolescence, Theoretical Approaches to Studying Relationships, Types of Relationships.
