This book presents research applications of a rules theory of mate relationships of several American cultures and two nonAmerican cultures. The theory is summarized in seven basic propositions, several of which have been previously tested and supported. The research contained here expands the depth of the work by examining attributes and levels of mateship in several American cocultures, one Caribbean culture, and one Asian culture, and extends the breadth of the work by moving into the areas of relational quality, maintenance, and conflict. Seven propositions presented are 1) perceived selfconcept support is the basis of interpersonal attraction; 2) different types of perceived selfconcept support are the basis for different types of interpersonal relationships; 3) different types of selfconcept support are the basis for entry into and increasing intensity of interpersonal relationships; 4) the type and form of selfconcept support is homogeneous by culture; 4) conflict which threatens selfconcept support on crucial relationship variablesthe lack of it or attacks on itis the most potentially dangerous type of conflict in interpersonal relationships; 6) negotiation of differences in perceptions of selfconcept support on crucial relationship variables cements interpersonal relationships; and 7) quality interpersonal relationships consist of intimacy, personal growth, and effective communication on the crucial relationship variables
