Biography
Stanley O. Gaines, Jr. is Assistant Professor of Black Studies at Pomona College.
"This important new book invites relationship researchers to take cultural influences seriously. Gaines' analysis skillfully combines resource exchange theory with new research on cultural value orientations of individualism, collectivism, familism and spiritualism. Included are comprehensive analyses of personal relationships among African American, Latino, Asian American and interethnic couples. Gaines makes a powerful case that to develop models of personal relationships that transcend culture, we must first acknowledge and understand how ethnicity and culture shape close relationships." -- Anne Peplau, Dept. of Psychology, UCLA
