  • Interdependence theory is a powerful and applicable theory that has shaped the study of interpersonal relationships for decades, providing foundational constructs and elucidating key assumptions within the burgeoning field of relationship science. Research guided by interdependence theory sheds light on the diverse phenomena within ongoing relationships, including the emergence of co-operation, trust, dependence, power, and relationship maintenance. At its core, interdependence theory pinpoints key elements of daily interactions that predict specific experiences and outcomes that people have in different situations. This handbook goes further to explain how interdependence theory continues to be used fruitfully in research, driving our current understanding of relational processes. We invite you to enter the world of interdependence and discover what top scholars across disciplines are discussing in their efforts to fully understand close, intimate relationships.

  • Summary

    This passage not only sets the stage for the book, telling the reader what to expect in the 300-plus pages that followed, but clairvoyantly told the field what to expect in the 60-plus years that have followed. IT has indeed been useful as a guide to research and as a way to order the myriad empirical facts uncovered about relationships, not just in social psychology, but in diverse disciplines spanning the social and behavioral sciences. In this volume, we hope once again to contribute some order and simplification to an even more increasingly robust literature, as the simple assumptions of IT remain as relevant as ever.
