Informationen zum Autor R. Murray Thomas, PhD is professor emeritus at University of California, Santa Barbara's Graduate School of Education. Marie Kathleen Iding, PhD is a professor of Educational Psychology at the University of Hawaii. Klappentext Explaining Conversations offers a different way of interpreting people's social exchanges than has been available in the past. The book is replete with examples of people's verbal interactions in the form of chats, arguments, debates, and negotiations, both within a culture and across cultures. The volume's subtitle, A Developmental Social-Exchange Theory, identifies a theme featured in Chapters 2 and 5--the typical pattern by which social-exchange skills evolve over the first two decades of life.
