Summary: Development of personal relationships is only barely understood in either of the two senses (namely, relationship growth during acquaintance on the one hand, and relationships in different developmental age groups on the other hand). Despite the vigour of research by developmental psychologists into mother-infant relationships, this has not extended into later points of childhood and it is significant that the publication of books on children's friendships developed only very recently (e.g. Foot et al., 1980a; Rubin, 1980; Asher and Gottman, 1981). At the other end of the life-cycle also, almost nothing is known about the significant features of relationships in the elderly and very little is clear about the changes in personal relationships that occur in adulthood. Equally, theoretical views on the development of relationships from strangers to close friends were rare until the early 1970s and even the ones put forward then have had only infrequent and un systematic testing - and that usually by their authors alone

Development of personal relationships is only barely understood in either of the two
senses (namely, relationship growth during acquaintance on the one hand, and
relationships in different developmental age groups on the other hand). Despite the
vigour of research by developmental psychologists into mother-infant relationships,
this has not extended into later points of childhood and it is significant that the
publication of books on children's friendships developed only very recently (e.g.
Foot et al., 1980a; Rubin, 1980; Asher and Gottman, 1981). At the other end of the
life-cycle also, almost nothing is known about the significant features of relationships
in the elderly and very little is clear about the changes in personal relationships that
occur in adulthood. Equally, theoretical views on the development of relationships
from strangers to close friends were rare until the early 1970s and even the ones put
forward then have had only infrequent and un systematic testing - and that usually
