This is an interdisciplinary resource guide for scholars, researchers, graduate students, and advanced undergraduates who study aspects of communication
and relationships. It brings together essays by an array of scholars currently working in the areas of anti and pro-social communication to examine the
theories, methodologies, and applied issues that define communication research broadly. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of communication,
examining how and why it affects our perceptions, relationships, health, and social behavior.
