Few communication behaviors are more consequential to the
development and maintenance of close relationships than the
expression of affection. Indeed, people often use affectionate
gestures to initiate or accelerate relationship development. In
contrast, the absence of affection in established relationships
frequently coincides with relational deterioration. This text
explores the scientific research on affection exchange that has
emerged from the disciplines of communication, social and clinical
psychology, family studies, psychophysiology, sociology, nursing,
and behavioral health. Specific points of focus include the
individual and relational benefits - including health benefits - of
affectionate behavior, the significant detriments associated with
lacking sufficient affection, and the risks of expressing
affection. It also discusses the primary social and cultural
influences on affection exchange, critiques principal theories and
measurement models, and offers suggestions for future empirical
research.
