Taking a relational approach to the study of interpersonal communication, this best-selling text helps students better understand their relationships with romantic partners, friends, and family members. Updated with the most current research findings and advances in theory, Close Encounters, Seventh Edition offers insightful examples and case studies to show how state-of-the-art research and theory can be applied to specific issues within relationships. While maintaining the spotlight on communication, authors Laura Guerrero, Peter Andersen, and Walid Afifi also emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the study of personal relationships by including research from such disciplines as social psychology and family studies. The text covers issues relevant to developing, maintaining, repairing, and ending relationships. Both the "bright" and "dark" sides of interpersonal communication within relationships are explored, offering a comprehensive overview of the varied dynamics of close relationships. The Seventh Edition features new research on technology-mediated communication in areas such as online dating, sexting, and cancel culture.
