Although the two major research areas of the "Self" and "Social
Relationships" have flourished, they have done so largely
independently of each other. More and more research, however, has
indicated that relationships shape the nature of the self and
identity, and that self-views influence interpersonal processes and
the manner in which people navigate their close relationships. The
integration of research on self and social relationships has proved
a particularly rich one, generating some of the most creative and
insightful theories in psychology. The Self and Social
Relationships is the first volume that marks, expedites, and
defines this exciting new research synthesis. It serves both as a
platform for authors to present their latest ideas on the topic and
to encourage continued integration in this emerging field. The
contributions represent a diverse set of perspectives from
social/personality and clinical psychology. Each chapter covers a
topic that is central to the study of self and relationships, and
presents some of the most exciting research programs in the field.
This volume is essential reading for researchers and students in
the areas of both self and relationships.

The Atlas of Interpersonal Situations provides a systematic theoretical account for understanding the impact of situations on patterns of social interaction. Structured around descriptions of twenty-one of the most common situations that people encounter daily, this study presents the tools needed to understand how those situations influence interpersonal behavior. These descriptions are freestanding; each providing analysis, research examples, and everyday descriptions of the prototypical situation. The authors build upon interdependence theory, which stresses the manner in which outcomes are determined by the structure of interpersonal interaction. This analysis makes clear exactly what is "social" about "social psychology."
How can newlyweds believe they will be together forever, while
knowing that the majority of marriages end in divorce? Why do
people who desperately want to be loved end up alienating those who
love them? How can partners that seem like complete opposites end
up blissfully happy? This volume explores such fascinating
questions. Murray and Holmes outline how basic motivations to be
safe from being hurt and find value and meaning control how people
feel, think, and behave in close relationships. Additionally, the
authors highlight how these motivations infuse romantic life
through succinct and accessible descriptions of cutting-edge
empirical research and vivid evolving stories of four couples
confronting different challenges in their relationship. Integrating
ideas from the interdependence, goals, and embodiment literatures,
this book puts a provocative new spin on seminal findings from two
decades of collaborative research. The book: provides a new,
interdependence-based, perspective on motivated cognition in close
relationships; advances a dyadic perspective that explores how
motivation shapes perception and cognition in ways that result in
motivation-consistent behavior; examines how "goal-driven"
cognition translates a person's wishes, desires, and preferences
into judgement and behavior, and ultimately, his or her romantic
partner's relationship reality; offers a refreshing argument that
the ultimate effects of motivated cognition on satisfaction and
stability depend on whether the motivations which most frequently
guide perception and cognition match the reality constraints
imposed by the perceiver, the partner, and the characteristics of
the relationship. This book is essential for social and personality
psychologists and will also be valuable to clinical psychologists
and clinicians who work directly with couples to effect more happy
and stable relationships. Advanced undergraduate and graduate
students will find it a highly engaging compendium for
understanding how motivation shapes affect, cognition, and behavior
in close relationships.

Why do some marriages grow stronger in the face of conflict or
stress while others dissolve? In this book, two pioneering
researchers present a groundbreaking theory of how mutually
responsive behaviors emerge--or fail to emerge--in relationships.
Illustrating their findings through the vivid stories of four
diverse couples, the authors explore how conscious considerations
interact with unconscious impulses to foster trust and commitment.
Compelling topics include why marriages have such different
personalities and what makes partners truly compatible. Also
discussed are implications of the model for helping couples sustain
satisfying relationships and improve troubled ones.
