Although love and relationships have been focal points for poets
and philosophers for thousands of years, these topics had not
traditionally been the focus of empirical research. As a result,
very little was known about how couples maintained happiness and
satisfaction in their relationships, or how relationships
deteriorated, ultimately ending in separation or divorce. However,
since the early 1980s, relationships research has blossomed as a
field - and is now one of the most vibrant topics in social
psychology and beyond. This volume brings together the latest
research on couple functioning from the perspectives of social and
personality psychology, neurobiology, health, and clinical
psychology. Additionally, the research presented highlights the use
of survey, experimental, implicit, and longitudinal methods, as
well as specialized techniques employed in neuroscience,
psychophysiology, and psychoneuroimmunology in the study of couple
level processes. The underlying aim of this volume is to examine
how these theories and methods converge to provide a deeper,
holistic model of couples' processes and functioning. With its
state-of-the-art, integrative overview of this exciting discipline,
The Science of the Couple is essential reading for social
psychologists, clinicians, and anyone with an interest in the
dynamics of interpersonal relationships.
