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.
- Covers a wide range of topics
- First study of its kind to examine the interaction process
- Proposes a new theory the 'Interaction Adaptation Theory'
