Dynamics of Relationships

The here-and-now dyadic management of relationship behaviour is explored in this volume, which adds considerably to the understanding of relationship processes. Contributors focus on the skills essential for successful relationships, such as: the management of conversation; the ability to listen to others; the development and practical use of relational knowledge; the understanding of the sequences of both verbal and non-verbal behaviour; the development of dispositional beliefs about one's partner; and awareness of how future expectations influence the meaning of relational behaviour.Duck, Steve is the author of 'Dynamics of Relationships', published 1994 under ISBN 9780803954144 and ISBN 080395414X.
