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.
