"Nonverbal Communication in Close Relationships" provides a
synthesis of research on nonverbal communication as it applies to
interpersonal interaction, focusing on the close relationships of
friends, family, and romantic partners. Authors Laura K. Guerrero
and Kory Floyd support the premise that nonverbal communication is
a product of biology, social learning, and relational context. They
overview six prominent nonverbal theories and show how each is
related to bio-evolutionary or sociocultural perspectives. Their
work focuses on various functions of nonverbal communication,
emphasizing those that are most relevant to the initiation,
maintenance, and dissolution of close relationships.
Throughout the book, Guerrero and Floyd highlight areas where
research is either contradictory or inconclusive, hoping that in
the years to come scholars will have a clearer understanding of
these issues. The volume concludes with a discussion of practical
implications that emerge from the scholarly literature on nonverbal
communication in relationships - an essential component for
understanding relationships in the real world.
"Nonverbal Communication in Close Relationships "makes an important
contribution to the development of our understanding not only of
relationship processes but also of the specific workings of
nonverbal communication. It will serve as a springboard for asking
new questions and advancing new theories about nonverbal
communication. It is intended for scholars and advanced students in
personal relationship study, social psychology, interpersonal
communication, nonverbal communication, family studies, and family
communication. It will also be ahelpful resource for researchers,
clinicians, and couples searching for a better understanding of the
complicated roles that nonverbal cues play in relationships.

The Handbook of Communication Science and Biology charts the state
of the art in the field, describing relevant areas of communication
studies where a biological approach has been successfully applied.
The book synthesizes theoretical and empirical development in this
area thus far and proposes a roadmap for future research. As the
biological approach to understanding communication has grown, one
challenge has been the separate evolution of research focused on
media use and effects and research focused on interpersonal and
organizational communication, often with little intellectual
conversation between the two areas. The Handbook of Communication
Science and Biology is the only book to bridge the gap between
media studies and human communication, spurring new work in both
areas of focus. With contributions from the field's foremost
scholars around the globe, this unique book serves as a seminal
resource for the training of the current and next generation of
communication scientists, and will be of particular interest to
media and psychology scholars as well.

Interpersonal Communication helps students see how communication
not only affects their relationships but also influences their
health, happiness, and quality of life. Author Kory Floyd
encourages students to go beyond commonsense notions about
communication and helps them see the value of investigating
interpersonal processes - both face-to-face and online - in a
systematic manner. Interpersonal Communication meets students where
they are, speaking to them in a way that interests them and helping
them to use both the content and the cognitive tools to relate
theories and concepts to their own experiences. In this new
edition, the following features enhance Kory Floyd's unique and
engaging approach to interpersonal communication: Seamless
integration of scholarship, theory, and skills. By combining the
latest research with the everyday scenarios learners face, Kory
Floyd presents a systematic and modern approach to the study of
interpersonal communication that helps students build vital
interpersonal skills and make sound choices-academically,
personally, and professionally. Emphasis on critical thinking and
self-reflection. Students will have numerous opportunities to make
connections between the text and their own lives, as well as to
consider how their communication choices influence the outcomes
they experience. Examples with real-world relevance relate content
to real life. Chapter-opening vignettes and examples throughout the
chapters enliven the content and allow learners to study
interpersonal communication in an engaging way that directly
relates to them. Online and electronically mediated communication
integrated in every chapter. Every chapter includes comprehensive
coverage of technology and digital devices' influence on
interpersonal communication, from online deception and relational
maintenance via tests to improving listening and emotional
expression when online. Culture, gender and diversity are
integrated throughout the text. Every chapter includes essential
information about how culture, gender, and sexual identity affect
communication. Throughout the new edition, coverage of gender and
sexuality topics has been updated to reflect the latest scholarship
as well as cultural conventions for applying gender-neutral
pronouns and using inclusive language. Enhanced coverage of
deceptive communication. Unique in its focus on the timely and
critical topic of deceptive communication, Chapter 12 now features
enhanced coverage of, and guidance for responding to, the various
types of deception students encounter in their daily lives,
including high-profile lying and lying through dating apps.

Few communication behaviors are more consequential to the
development and maintenance of close relationships than the
expression of affection. Indeed, people often use affectionate
gestures to initiate or accelerate relationship development. In
contrast, the absence of affection in established relationships
frequently coincides with relational deterioration. This text
explores the scientific research on affection exchange that has
emerged from the disciplines of communication, social and clinical
psychology, family studies, psychophysiology, sociology, nursing,
and behavioral health. Specific points of focus include the
individual and relational benefits - including health benefits - of
affectionate behavior, the significant detriments associated with
lacking sufficient affection, and the risks of expressing
affection. It also discusses the primary social and cultural
influences on affection exchange, critiques principal theories and
measurement models, and offers suggestions for future empirical
research.

Few behavioral processes are more central to the development and
maintenance of intimate relationships than the communication of
affection. Indeed, affectionate expressions often initiate and
accelerate relational development. By contrast, their absence in
established relationships frequently coincides with relational
deterioration. This text explores the scientific research on
affection exchange to emerge from the disciplines of communication,
social psychology, family studies, psychophysiology, anthropology,
and nursing. Specific foci include the individual and relational
benefits (including health benefits) of affectionate behavior, as
well as the significant risks often associated with expressing
affection. A new, comprehensive theory of human affection exchange
is offered, and its merits relative to existing theories are
explored.
