Discussion – Dynamics of Interpersonal Relationships & Communication in Close Relationships
Initial Post:
For this post, you need to respond to the prompts below. (note – you can NOT use the same content here as in your reflections). Your post should cover the following topics:
Chapter 10: What are the top three reasons you have formed or would form a relationship with someone? What about three reasons you would not form a relationship with someone? Explain how social exchange theory might influence whether someone decides to stay in a relationship.
Chapter 11: What rules does your family have? Are these explicit or implicit? What happens when a rule is violated? In terms of conversation and conformity, what “family communication pattern” does your family illustrate? Has that changed over the years (why or why not)?
