    Book description

    When people communicate, they often adapt their interaction styles to one another. This highly interesting book examines the numerous ways in which people do this verbally and nonverbally. It reviews theories that try to explain and predict interaction patterns and examines issues involved in conducting this kind of research. It concludes with a proposed theory, Interaction Adaptation Theory, and considers how different interaction patterns can lead to positive or negative outcomes.

    Reviews

    "...the most comprehensive coverage of the literature on interpersonal adaptation that I have seen in recent years." Cindy Gallois, Quarterly Journal of Speech

    "Even researchers who are familiar with the theories will find this analysis interesting and informative...Interpersonal Adaptation fills an important gap in the literature and should interest those who want to learn more about the dynamics of interaction patterns." Miles L. Patterson, Contemporary Psychology

    "A valuable resource for human communication researchers." Choice

    "The reader is encouraged to imagine conversation as the erector set of human relationships: they not only create the foundation and frame on which relationships are built, but supply the mortar that binds people together." Human Resources Abstracts

    "In this ambitious book, Burgoon, Stern and Dillman present the most comprehensve coverage of the literature on interpersonal adaptation that I have seen in recent years....The book gets more interesting as it goes along and the authors delve more into their own research....The book is worth its price for adavnced students and researchers in interpersonal adaptation." Cindy Gallois, Quarterly Journal of Speech
