Today, we continue our chapter of interpersonal communication.
We learn about the Relationship theories which is

First, in Attraction theory, there are 4 factor which is
similarity, proximity, reinforcement and physical attractiveness and personality.
Next for the Relationship rule theory,
it is defined as different relationships that have difference relationship level and attribution.
It is the comprising of family rules, friendship rules, romantic rules and workplace rules.
Besides that, relationship dialectics theory is defined as
the people in relationships often wants to explore the extreme of opposite qualities.
The three pairs of opposites are closeness and openness, autonomy and connection as well as novelty and predictability.
Furthermore, Social penetration theory is defined as
people in relationship often need to explore each other's personalities.
Deeper relationship would go deeper into the core personality of the person.
There are 3 stages which is
- With a normal friend
- With a best friend
- With lover
Last but not least, Social exchange theory is
rewards > cost and equity theory is rewards = cost.
There are also the bad side which is we call it the dark side of interpersonal relationship.
For instance, different type of jealous can occur which is cognitive jealousy, emotional jealousy and behavioral jealousy.
This is what we learned today in class.
