Attribution, Communication Behavior, and Close Relationships

Description

Attribution, Communication Behavior, and Close Relationships brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines whose work focuses on the interplay of attribution processes and communication behavior in close relationships. The book shows ways in which diverse scholarly perspectives can blend to provide insight into areas of common interest. In this case, it is the ways that people in relationships think about communication, make attributions through communication, and communicate about the attributions they make.

"The ultimate question, of course concerns whether this work will serve to stimulate future research in the area that adds to our understanding of attributions and relationships. I believe it will and I encourage individuals who are interested in the study of close relationships to take a look at the chapters included in this text." Contemporary Psychology "Notable not only for the quality of its contributors, but also for the breadth with which applications of attribution theory are covered and for the depth with which important questions about the nature of the theory are addressed."
