Written by two well-respected researchers and authors in the field, Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships offers the most comprehensive and widely-used developmental and analytical approach to communication in close relationships. It focuses on the role of communication in the coming together and the coming apart of relationships.
This accessible text introduces students to relational communication theories by using common examples ― relationships with roommates, friends, and parents ― to help students better understand and retain concepts. Furthermore, the book's core model, introduced in Chapter 2, can be applied to the diverse range of relationships that students have experienced ― or will experience ― throughout their lives.
A classic for more than twenty years, Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships retains all of its highly-praised features in the fourth edition, including the latest research from communication and social psychology; thorough coverage of dialogue, speech, and interaction patterns; interesting boxed inserts, cartoons, and diagnostic tests; and an effective writing style that engages students and holds their interest.
Praise for Knapp and Vangelisti's
Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships
“Knapp & Vangelisti do a great job of discussing relationships and interpersonal communication, a trend that is very popular with today's students.”
Rona Leber, Bossier Parish Community College
“I think this text is different and/or better than others because it covers areas of human relationships not found in other texts.”
Laura Sullivan, Northern Kentucky University
“Strengths include coverage of a wide variety of basic interpersonal concepts used in our field and good overview of contemporary (as well as older) research.”
Melanie Booth-Butterfield, West Virginia University
“I think this is better written than most of the texts I come across. My students also seem to find it suitably demanding, yet accessible and interestingly written.”
Robin Gilmour, University of California, Santa Barbara
“In my opinion, the primary strength of this text is its firm foundation derived from the years of experience of the authors. In addition, the inclusion of a great deal of empirical research results makes the text even stronger.”
Thomas D. Bovino, Suffolk County Community College
