Providing an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers, this
book investigates positive psychology and relationships theory and
research across a range of settings and life stages-intimate, work,
educational, senior/retirement, and in the context of diversity.
Nearly universally, relationships are a key source of what we all
seek in life: happiness, fulfillment, and well-being. The experts
who contributed to this novel volume apply the framework of
positive psychology to the findings of relationships research
across a variety of practical contexts. What actions create and
sustain respectful, caring, joyous, stimulating, and loving
relationships? How do people rich in friendship, intimacy, and
interpersonal skills think and behave? How do they unconsciously
cultivate positive relationships? This book brings together
authoritative reviews, cutting-edge research, and thoughtful
scholarship that serve to answer these questions and document the
benefit of positive relationships in a variety of settings and
across the human life span. Following a comprehensive introduction,
the book addresses positive intimate relationships, positive
relationships at work, positive relationships during different
stages of life (in youth, in adolescence, and among older adults),
and positive relationships intersecting with diversity. The
chapters underscore the simple concept that relationships are
central to what makes life worth living and are fundamental to
well-being across all life domains as they play out at home, in
school, at work, in retirement homes, and in the community at
large. Explores recent relationships research in the most important
life domains and life stages-in romance and at work, during youth
and in old age, and in contexts of diversity Brings together
contributions from renowned leaders and prolific thinkers in
positive relationships Presents science-based information that will
be useful to scholars and students as well as general readers
