Few behavioral processes are more central to the development and
maintenance of intimate relationships than the communication of
affection. Indeed, affectionate expressions often initiate and
accelerate relational development. By contrast, their absence in
established relationships frequently coincides with relational
deterioration. This text explores the scientific research on
affection exchange to emerge from the disciplines of communication,
social psychology, family studies, psychophysiology, anthropology,
and nursing. Specific foci include the individual and relational
benefits (including health benefits) of affectionate behavior, as
well as the significant risks often associated with expressing
affection. A new, comprehensive theory of human affection exchange
is offered, and its merits relative to existing theories are
explored.
