Interpersonal phenomena such as attachment, conflict, person perception,
learning, and influence have traditionally been studied by examining
individuals in isolation, which falls short of capturing their truly
interpersonal nature. This book offers state-of-the-art solutions to
this age-old problem by presenting methodological and data-analytic
approaches useful in investigating processes that take place among
dyads: couples, coworkers, parent and child, teacher and student, or
doctor and patient, to name just a few. Rich examples from psychology
and across the behavioral and social sciences help build the
researcher's ability to conceptualize relationship processes; model and
test for actor effects, partner effects, and relationship effects; and
model and control for the statistical interdependence that can exist
between partners. The companion website provides clarifications,
elaborations, corrections, and data and files for each chapter.
