Sociologists have not neglected the study of relationships, but
there remains no central definition of what a relationship is.
Conceptualizing and Modeling Relational Processes in Sociology
offers a definition of relationships that supports a conceptual
tool and visualization technique for analyzing relational processes
that are otherwise difficult to model using standard ethnographic
and social network analysis techniques. Grounded in the work of
social psychologists and relational sociologists and built on the
premise that relationships are both remembered and imagined, Joslyn
introduces disjointed fluidity: a new concept which maintains that
relationships are molded by a flow of changing circumstances and
dynamic cognitive processes. Featuring data from an ethnographic
study of doctoral student mentorship, Joslyn uses this cutting-edge
perspective to detail the mechanisms by which relationships are
created, maintained, and dissolved. Pioneering a computational
ethnographic technique that visualizes the properties and
characteristics of relational processes, the author offers an
exciting contribution to the efforts of relational sociologists to
build a universal conceptualization of relationships. With broad
appeal across scholars and graduate students in the social and
behavioral sciences, Joslyn presents new ideas for expanding
relationship modeling methods in a way that unites relationship
scholars and extends relational theory. This is a captivating read
for both methodologists and practitioners in relational fields,
such as marketing, library sciences, criminal justice/legal
psychology, and psychotherapy.
