Dynamics of Relationships

By Steve Duck

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 ones partner; and awareness of how future expectations influence the meaning of relational behaviour.
