Module 4: Significant Others



Our activity for that week :)

Significant others. And you're probably thinking of the boyfriend-girlfriend romantic type of relationship already. I tell you, the category significant others doesn't only entail the romantic kind of relationship you can have with the opposite sex. It also includes the other types of relationship you have with other people .
  1. Acquaintance Relationships. This includes the people you know by name and you talk with them when the opportunity arises. They're important becuase they meet many social needs.
  2. Role Relationships. These are people who holds prescribed roles. Parents, siblings, coworkers, your doctor, these people are included in the role relationship. This kind of relationship lasts only so long as they hold their roles.
  3. Friendship Relationships. Friends are people we like and who likes us. These are the people whose company we enjoy. Friendships are built on trust and they require a certain level of commitment.
  4. Deep Friendship or Intimate Relationship. These includes the people with whom we share our deepest feelings. We can countless of the other relationships, but we are likely to have only one or two truly intimate relationship. Romantic relationships are the obvious kind of this but it can also be an unromantic type of relationship, like those of the best of friends.
We all know that not all relationships last long. People have developed theories to explain why people have the tendency to move in or out of relationships. The first one is Interpersonal Needs, this explains that the maintenance of the relationship depends on how each person meets the interpersonal needs of the other. The Cost-Reward Theory simply tells us that a person would most likely keep the relationship of the effort he or she is exerting is reciprocated by the other person. Lastly, the Balance Theory states that humans seeks balance in attitudes and behavior in a relationship, this entails positive relationships among two people.
