In this single comprehensive resource, leading scholars bring together research on current and emerging perspectives and established theories in interpersonal relationships and computer-mediated communication.Illuminating how users define themselves, their partners, and their relationships through communication technologies, the chapters each explore unique aspects of how relational communication processes engage with interactive communication technologies. Sections of the handbook address foundational theories and conceptual approaches, processes and functions, contexts and settings, and emerging issues. In doing so, the chapters review the current state of theorizing, highlight established perspectives, and delineate emerging models central to this area of study. Topics such as social support, self-disclosure, deception, cyberbullying, and more are explored by a collection of scholars from a diversity of academic disciplines.This handbook is a vital resource for both established scholars as well as advanced students in communication studies, media studies, digital media, and interpersonal relationships.
