The revised Fourth Edition of The SAGE Handbook of Interpersonal Communication delivers a clear, comprehensive, and exciting overview of the field of interpersonal communication offering researchers and postgraduate students a state-of-the-art reference work.

Well-known experts summarise theory, research, and address key issues such as personal relationships, computer-mediated communication, language, personality, skills, nonverbal communication, and communication across the life span. This updated Handbook covers a wide range of established and emerging topics including:

• biological and physiological processes

• qualitative and quantitative methods for studying interpersonal communication

• interpersonal communication in work, family, intercultural, and health contexts
