This Sixth Edition retains its classic features including current research from communication and social psychology, thorough coverage of dialogue, speech, and interaction patterns, true stories, executive summary boxes, cartoons, and diagnostic tests.

 

Features of the New Edition:

• “So You Want to Know” feature boxes show how current research areas such as long-distance relationships, online relationships, and friendships are relevant to your life today.
• Contemporary research on such topics as the evolutionary approach to jealousy, deception, workplace relationships, and the role of emotion in relationships helps keep you abreast of interpersonal issues today.
• New coverage throughout the text of the impact of technology on relationships, including rules for online dating, offers practical applications of interpersonal communication concepts.
• Increased coverage of cultural issues and diversity and their influence on relationships continues to bring global perspective to broaden your understanding of key interpersonal concepts.
