This comprehensive, cross-disciplinary encyclopedia explores the
developmental nature of social interactions and is designed for a
broad range of readers in college, institutional, and public
library settings. The lifespan perspective illuminates how
relationships change throughout the course of human development
from family interactions and friendships to dating and work
relationships. In the process a diversity of topics are explored,
such as aging experiences, divorce, family violence, gender roles,
grandparenthood, HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases,
marriage and alternative lifestyles, parenthood, and sibling
relations. A variety of perspectives are provided, including
psychological, sociological, family studies, historical,
anthropological, and religious views. The reader is also exposed to
how lifespan relationships are shaped by international, racial,
ethnic, and class differences. Over 500 easy-to-read entries
analyze terms, concepts, themes, theories, and policies, as well as
current, historical, and multicultural perspectives, and provide
over 1,500 sources for further study. An appendix listing over 100
professional journals of note and a selected bibliography of the
latest publications of importance to the topic overall further
enrich this volume designed for students, teachers, practitioners,
and general readers in all the social sciences.
