Abstract
This chapter examines theory and research associated with three perspectives of interpersonal communication: psychological/relational, symbolic interactionist, and interactional. The authors describe the origins and key assumptions of each perspective and discuss major theories, current research, and critiques associated with each. The chapter concludes with a discussion of some possible directions for future research.
