This thought-provoking volume offers an innovative and
intriguing approach to the study of long-distance relationships.
Author Laura Stafford examines romantic long-distance relationships
and then expands the conception of long-distance relationships to
include other relational types. She summarizes literature across
the social sciences on various types of long-distance relationships
and extracts themes and patterns across the relational types. In so
doing, she reconsiders approaches to and offers an expanded vision
of relational maintenance.
"Communication and Relational Maintenance" addresses the question, "How do people maintain their personal relationships?" Unlike the published works in this field that focus on relationship initiation or dissolution, this volume discusses the everyday processes used to maintain an on-going relationship. It discusses interpersonal communication, social-psychological factors relevant to maintenance, and the resolution of conflict. It focuses on everyday processes used to sustain personal relationships. It analyzes how communication skills affect relationship function. It discusses factors promoting marital stability and satisfaction. It elaborates upon the means and mechanisms for conflict resolution. It identifies dialectical approaches to the study of relationships.
