Beskrivning

Cognition, Communication, and Romantic Relationships focuses on the role of memory, communication, and social cognition in the development of romantic relationships. The authors review developmental models of communication and examine criticisms of these models. They also explore the stages through which relationships escalate and deteriorate, and consider the processes for such activities as meeting new people, dating, sexual intercourse, and terminating relationships. Differences between men and women are discussed throughout the text, in light of current research supporting systematic gender differences in how people think about romance and relationships.As an extended analysis and research review of how thinking about romance influences and is influenced by communicative processes, this text offers a deeper understanding of the cognitive and communicative factors involved in relationship processes. It is designed for use in courses on interpersonal relationships and intimate relations in social psychology, communication, counseling psychology, clinical psychology, and sociology.

Recensioner i media

"Psychologists need to read the book Cognition, Communication, and Romantic Relationships precisely because it is written by communication scholars, not in spite of it. Psychologists who study social cognition might be surprised at the depth to which Honeycutt and Cantrill have thought about the many facets of cognition in close relationships....I highly recommend this book for graduate courses, scholars, and researchers. I particularly recommend it to psychologists who have yet to look for research ideas in another discipline."—Contemporary Psychology
