Published in Cooperation with the Society for Personality and Social Psychology, Inc. Can closeness and intimacy be measured in relationships? What role does gender play in same-sex relationships? How do emotions like envy and jealousy affect close relationships? Distinguished scholars offer in-depth examination of this topic by looking at such questions from varying perspectives. This compelling volume examines the role of rhetoric in relationships; the development of trust; the relation between marital behavior and spousal satisfaction; and the appearance of jealousy, envy, and other negative emotions. On the darker side of close relationships, date rape is defined through the use of a model based on length of the relationship. Social psychologists, sociologists, family studies specialists, social workers, and students will find in Close Relationships an invigorating, refreshing look into the richly diverse field of personal relationships. "The chapters will stimulate future work, not only in the areas of the explicit content of the chapters but more broadly as well . . . an interdisciplinary contribution to the literature on close relationships."
