Abstract

Research on close relationship communication points to the important role of both strategic and routine maintenance behaviors in maintaining stability and motivating change across relationship types and contexts. The four papers presented in this session examine a broad range of maintenance processes including the gender composition of the relationship, the communication medium used to maintain the relationship, nature of the relationship, and whether the relationship partners are local or long distance.
