Gaines, Jr (Ph.D., University of Texas, Austin) is the author of Culture, Ethnicity, and Personal Relationship Processes (1997) and has written or co-written more than 100 articles and book chapters, primarily in the fields of close relationships and ethnic studies. His areas of specialty include cultural values and ethnic identity, interpersonal traits and attachment styles, and exchange and interdependence processes in close relationships. He has won numerous grants and fellowships from such diverse sources as the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright Foundation, and the American Psychological Foundation. This book integrates personality theories and research on attitudes, traits, values, motives, emotions, and moods as influences on close relationship processes.
