The book is divided into five parts: (1) Emotions, Imagination, and
Physiology of Relationships, (2) Bases of Relational Scripts, (3)
Relational Escalation and Deescalation, (4) Relationship Scripts in
Context, and (5) Cautions and Recommendations. The authors discuss
the basis of relationship scripts, emotions, imagery, and
physiology of relationships including romance, friendship, work
associates, mentors, and Facebook friends. They argue that people's
expectations for relational development influence their
communication, faith, and commitment in relationships.
Misconstruing sexual or flirtatious intent, for example, is derived
from having different scripts about attraction. They discuss
abusive relationships including characteristics of abusers,
stalking, and verbal and physical aggression. Designed for classes
in psychology, communication, sociology, family studies, and social
work, this book provides a comprehensive overview of how scripts
and communication are used in relationships. Guidelines based on
developing and improving verbal and nonverbal communication
competence are provided. A downloadable teacher's guide is also
available.
"Cognition, Communication, and Romantic Relationships" focuses on
the role of memory, communication, and social cognition in the
development of romantic relationships. The authors review
developmental models of communication and examine criticisms of
these models. They also explore the stages through which
relationships escalate and deteriorate, and consider the processes
for such activities as meeting new people, dating, sexual
intercourse, and terminating relationships. Differences between men
and women are discussed throughout the text, in light of current
research supporting systematic gender differences in how people
think about romance and relationships.
As an extended analysis and research review of how thinking about
romance influences and is influenced by communicative processes,
this text offers a deeper understanding of the cognitive and
communicative factors involved in relationship processes. It is
designed for use in courses on interpersonal relationships and
intimate relations in social psychology, communication, counseling
psychology, clinical psychology, and sociology.
Imagined interactions (IIs) can be used as a type of self-therapy
when dealing with stress and trauma. We often have IIs in terms of
flashbacks as portrayed in movies. It is hoped that this volume
will inspire some people to use IIs as a type of self-therapy and
to realize that having IIs in everyday life is a normal part of
daydreaming and mental imagery. IIs can be used productively as
well as dysfunctionally. Hence, it is up to the individual to
decide how they use IIs to deal with stress and trauma. Benefits of
IIs include helping people rehearse strategies, reduce primary
tension (which occurs before or at the beginning of interactions),
and gain others' viewpoints. Even though, you can think positively
or negatively, thinking positively may be easier said than done.
Human survival and mental health require a balance between optimism
and pessimism. Individuals gain more self-understanding by thinking
about interactions. It is a process called self-perception that
clarifies feelings about people and topics. IIs can improve mood by
reducing tensions through the catharsis function. They help us
understand our beliefs. The book is divided into three sections.
Section 1 discusses how IIs can deal with teasing, bullying, abuse,
and conflict. Section 2 covers physical, emotional, and material
loss. Section 3 is concerned with policy concerns including
hurricane evacuations, environmental concerns, police encounters,
and presidential politics.

There is a significant amount of research that substantiates the
connection between social support/relationships and the
development, onset, and/or recovery of several physical
diseases/illnesses. Research has shown, for example, that an
unhappy marriage can increase the likelihood of becoming ill by 35%
while stressful communication can lead to an increase in
cardiovascular reactivity which in turn increases the risk of
coronary heart disease and premature mortality. This volume
provides a comprehensive overview of the influences of
communication on physiology and physical health status occurring in
a variety of contexts, from families, interpersonal relationships,
and public speaking to sport fandom, affection, fear, and the
escalation of conflict. It offers a broad and up-to-date review of
the relevant literature in this area of study.
The Dark Side of Social Media: Psychological, Managerial, and
Societal Perspectives examines how social media can negatively
affect our lives. The book tackles issues related to social media
such as emotional and mental health, shortened attention spans,
selective self-presentation and narcissism, the declining quality
of interpersonal relationships, privacy and security,
cyberstalking, cyberbullying, misinformation and online deception,
and negative peer effects. It goes on to discuss social media and
companies (loss of power, challenging control mechanisms) and
societies as a whole (fake news, chatbots, changes in the
workplace). The Dark Side of Social Media: Psychological,
Managerial, and Societal Perspectives empowers readers to have a
more holistic understanding of the consequences of utilizing social
media. It does not necessarily argue that social media is a bad
development, but rather serves to complement the numerous empirical
findings on the "bright side" of social media with a cautionary
view on the negative developments.
Communication Diversity in Families discusses diverse family types
and the communication that occurs within and among them. The
carefully curated readings explore a variety of family forms which
exist and have existed in American society throughout its history.
They also address the diverse functions and activities of these
families. The readings are organized into five sections. The first
addresses family communication theories and cultural diversity.
Subsequent sections discuss spirituality, introspection, and the
influence of social media, emotions and physiological arousal in
families, family reconfiguration and divorce including animals as
family members, and the effects of infidelity and divorce. Within
these broad content areas, students will learn about specific
issues in relationship dynamics, decision-making approaches,
communication styles, the choices people make following life
disasters, and the abuse that sometimes occurs within families.
Dedicated to helping students move beyond parochial perspectives of
"the family," Communication Diversity in Families presents them
with an expansive view of family life, family challenges, and
family communication. The book is well-suited to courses in family
issues, psychology, sociology, communication studies, counseling,
social work, and LGBTQ studies.
