Embedded within the sociocultural context of romantic relationships are features such as race, culture, neighborhoods, the legal system, and governmental policy. Due to the inherent difficulties with studying large structures and systems, little work has been done at the macro level in relationship science. This volume spotlights the complex interplay between romantic relationships and these structural systems, including varied insights from experts in the field. In turn, more diverse and generalizable research programs on the social ecology of relationships can be developed, helping to facilitate advances in theory. Scholars and students of relationship science in psychology, sociology, communication, and family studies will benefit from these discussions. This title is part of the Flip it Open programme and may also be available Open Access. Check our website Cambridge Core for details.

'This comprehensive volume propels the field of relationship science forward by addressing the contexts in which relationships are embedded. Chapters cover how relationships vary by race, ethnicity, sexual identity, employment, geographic region, and legal and historical periods, and by doing so bring an understanding of relationship functioning to a new level.' Karen Fingerman, Professor of Human Development and Family Sciences, University of Texas at Austin
