Preferred term

advice, self-help, and media advice about relationships  

Definition

  • Given the value of relationships for personal happiness, the well-being of families, and the cohesion of groups and societies, it is perhaps not strange that various popular media such as television talk shows, fashion magazines, and self-help experts have made big business of telling people what is needed to reach relationship nirvana. Likewise, it is understandable that the public targeted by these media is hungry for information and opinion—for great power can be gained from information that truly facilitates relationship success.
