-
"This book takes a close look at the mean, nasty, and annoying things people do to one another. The social psychologist Robin M. Kowalski examines the intricacies of complaining, teasing, breaches of propriety, worry and reassurance-seeking, lying, and betrayal." "Kowalski considers the functions of these irritating behaviors, the types of people who are inclined to do them, the consequences for victims and perpetrators, and the ways in which such behaviors might be curtailed. She also investigates the impact of gender and cultural differences, as well as cultural shifts, on specific annoying behaviors."--BOOK JACKET.
