Module 5: More on Relationships


The way platonic relationships develop into a romantic one is kind of interesting. Here's how everything develops, eeek! Haha.

  • Sampling: contains aspects of the selection process
  • Bargaining: determining the kinds of rewards you may expect and the kinds of costs that will be incurred
  • Commitment: a person gives up other relationships in favor of a particular one
  • Institutionalization: two people formally ratify their commitment. This stage is not really a process but more of an event
Another topic that we discussed for this module are the stages of Deterioration of a Relationship, I never actually thought that there are stages, haha. Anyways here they are.
  1. Reduction of Tolerance - people begin to change their orientation from we to I. The relationship begins to show much less open discussion.
  2. Drifting Apart - people begin to lose interest in the opinions and feelings of the other. Soon they begin to avoid each other.
  3. Ending - both parties seek to bring a formal end to the relationship.
And lastly the best thing that I learned in this module was the climates in which relationships thrive. I think that this is the best since it gave me an idea what I should be and what I should avoid in order to be able to take care of the relationships that I have.

Descriptiveness rather than evaluation
Spontaneity rather than manipulation
Provisionalism rather dogmatism
Equality rather and superiority
Openess and trust

Celebrate differences! :)
