- Book Synopsis
- This book argues that close personal relationships are most fruitfully explored through interdisciplinary collaboration. Such cooperation permits researchers to integrate a variety of perspectives on how close relationships develop, function, and interact in various contexts. The contributors examine aspects of both early and adult relationships, and of parent-child relationships. Their chapters demonstrate how theorists and researchers versed in developmental, social, and cross-cultural psychology, as well as evolutionary science, individual differences, and psychophysiology, can collaborate and generate new thinking on familiar topics. 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.
