Dr Theiss is an eloquent writer who masterfully weaves together the various threads of the uncertainty experience - from the conditions that promote uncertainty to the effects uncertainty has on communication, cognitions, and emotions. Theiss also provides an insightful analysis of the many of the issues that scholars have grappled with related to the uncertainty - from theoretical issues to operationalization concerns. I'm thrilled that such a book exists and can't wait to assign it in my classes!'

Consequently, uncertainty is an inevitable and unavoidable element of close relationships. It can arise in response to a variety of relational circumstances and can shape the ways that partners think, feel, and act toward one another. This book summarizes the expansive body of theoretical and empirical research regarding the nature of uncertainty, the conditions that promote uncertainty about relational involvement, and the emotional, cognitive, and communicative outcomes of uncertainty for individuals and their relationships. Based on the robust accumulation of data about uncertainty in close relationships, the book also offers recommendations for coping with ambiguous relational circumstances and proposes new directions for conceptualizing and studying uncertainty in close relationships.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I.
