A new organization helps students consider the intersection of self-presentational, relational, and instrumental goals throughout the book. Rather than separate the discussion of these goals into different parts of the book, the authors have joined the parts, re-conceptualizing how the scholarship (for example, on listening or nonverbal communication) is applicable in light of all three goals, often simultaneously. Attention grabbing opening vignettes engage students in the chapter content with relevant stories ripped from today’s headlines. Each story is revisited at the end of the chapter, providing students an opportunity to assess how their perspective on the story has changed based on their new knowledge of interpersonal concepts and theories.New self-quizzes and self-assessments in every chapter help students reflect on their own lives and interpersonal interactions in light of the research.New two-color design and art program enliven the text and highlight important content.
