Beschreibung
This Research Handbook facilitates the integration between two substantial yet often separated fields: the study of couple relationships and the study of family relationships. An array of expert contributors provide an up-to-date understanding of these important bonds, highlighting opportunities for consolidation and growth, and identifying new avenues of research.
The Research Handbook on Couple and Family Relationships examines 12 major themes, each addressed in two companion chapters: one from the perspective of couple research and the other from the perspective of family research. Chapter authors outline different factors that influence couple and family relationships. Topics cover individual characteristics such as attachment, personality, depression, and gender roles; relational processes such as responsiveness, emotion regulation, conflict, aggression, and maltreatment; and external influences such as stress, financial strain, minority stress, neighborhoods, and social context. The companion treatment of these topics reveals key similarities and differences in the theories and methods used to study couple and family relationships, pointing toward potential advancements within each area.
Adopting an innovative cross-disciplinary approach, this Research Handbook is invaluable to students and academics specializing in relationship, family, and gender scholarship, as well as social, developmental, and clinical psychology. Its insights into couple and family relationships are also of interest to mental health practitioners and policymakers.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'Building on eminent authors' authoritative, up-to-date syntheses of various areas of knowledge, this cohesively organized Research Handbook innovatively sheds light on how couple and family functioning, often analyzed separately, are two domains of relationships that are similar, different, and intertwined in influencing our lives. The individual chapters are excellent stand-alone reading; the Research Handbook as a whole, with the editors' perceptive integrative reflections, is even better. A must-have for all concerned separately and with the interplay of couples, family, and children's development. Bravo!' -- Daniel Perlman, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, US 'The Research Handbook impresses with its broad coverage of highly relevant topics in the area of couples and families. The chapters are written by leading experts, which guarantees the highest standards in terms of scientific rigor and practical relevance.' -- Guy Bodenmann, University of Zurich, Switzerland 'A definitive and essential resource, Overall, Simpson, and Lavner's Research Handbook on Couple and Family Relationships offers compelling research-based insights into our most important social bonds. Drawing from an impressive team of scholars, this outstanding volume fills a key gap in the field and will be indispensable for anyone studying or treating couples and families. Highly recommended!' -- Thomas Bradbury, University of California, Los Angeles, USWeitere Details
