Book Synopsis Interdisciplinary Research on Close Relationships by : Lorne Campbell
Download or read book Interdisciplinary Research on Close Relationships written by Lorne Campbell and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2012 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the importance of close relationships in all facets of human life, it is no surprise that research on relationship processes is multidisciplinary and divergent in methodology. Such diversity in the study of close relationships should allow for a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of relationship processes, but researchers in different fields have yet to integrate their findings into a deeper, more holistic model of close relationship functioning. This book brings together different perspectives on close relationships to explore how such relationships develop, function, and interact across a variety of contexts. Prominent scholars contribute theory and empirical research rooted in developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology, as well as evolutionary science, individual differences, and psychophysiology. Both early and adult relationships are examined, along with parent-child relationships. This excellent resource will be well received by researchers and students in the social sciences who are interested in a broader, more collaborative approach to relationship science.
Book Synopsis The Handbook of Sexuality in Close Relationships by : John H. Harvey
Download or read book The Handbook of Sexuality in Close Relationships written by John H. Harvey and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004-04-26 with total page 1075 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although sexuality is an integral part of close romantic relationships, research linking these two constructs has been less systematic than other areas pertaining to close relationships. To date, researchers in communication, sociology, family studies, psychology, and psychiatry, have made significant advances in both of these fields. The editors' goal is to integrate this research into one volume. They bring together major scholars from the diversity of fields working on close relationship topics to examine past contributions and new directions in sexuality. The emphasis is on theoretical integration and stimulation, methodological rigor, and critical analysis. This volume explores: *early sexual experiences and their impact on late life sexuality; *how life's stresses impact sexuality and satisfaction with closeness; *the affect of postpartum depression on sexuality; and *the relationship between control, power, anger, as well as revenge and sexual processes in couples. The Handbook of Sexuality in Close Relationships is intended for students and researchers in the disciplines of social, clinical, developmental, and health psychology; family studies; counseling; and interpersonal, family, and health communication. An excellent reference in advanced courses in close relationships taught in psychology, communications, sociology, anthropology, and family studies, the material in Part V will also appeal to clinical psychologists, health professionals, and policymakers.
Book Synopsis Interdependent Minds by : Sandra L. Murray
Download or read book Interdependent Minds written by Sandra L. Murray and published by Guilford Press. This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do some marriages grow stronger in the face of conflict or stress while others dissolve? In this book, two pioneering researchers present a groundbreaking theory of how mutually responsive behaviors emerge—or fail to emerge—in relationships. Illustrating their findings through the vivid stories of four diverse couples, the authors explore how conscious considerations interact with unconscious impulses to foster trust and commitment. Compelling topics include why marriages have such different personalities and what makes partners truly compatible. Also discussed are implications of the model for helping couples sustain satisfying relationships and improve troubled ones.

Book Synopsis Cognition in Close Relationships by : Garth J.O. Fletcher
Download or read book Cognition in Close Relationships written by Garth J.O. Fletcher and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has witnessed an explosion of interest and research on close relationships and social cognition. In both areas, numerous handbooks, textbooks, and journal articles have been published. However, it is the editors' impression that although cognitive theories and concepts have filtered through to research dealing with close relationships, much of this research reflects a relatively untutored understanding of the theoretical and empirical work in social cognition. Conversely, the research literature that provides a more sophisticated perspective on the role of cognition in close relationships typically reveals a relatively limited knowledge of the literature on close relationships. As researchers who have worked in both social cognitive processes and close relationships, Fletcher and Fincham are convinced that each field has much to offer the other. In fact, their book is based on two important postulates: first, that a social cognitive framework offers a valuable resource for developing our understanding of close relationships; and, second, that studying cognition within close relationships has the potential to inform our understanding of basic social cognitive processes.
Book Synopsis Power in Close Relationships by : Christopher R. Agnew
Download or read book Power in Close Relationships written by Christopher R. Agnew and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power is an inherent feature of social interactions, yet it is hard to define and therefore understand. This book is the first to organize current interdisciplinary theorizing and research about power from leading academics in areas such as social psychology, communications, family studies, and public health. It also focuses exclusively on how power operates and affects close relationship processes, while the theoretical insights provided point the way toward new lines of research and understanding. Using specific examples to illustrate complex theoretical explanations and supplying thorough descriptions of the existing literature on power in close relationships, this book is an essential resource for researchers, professionals, students, or laypeople seeking to better understand how power operates in those relationships that are most important to us.
