Types of Relationships:
Voluntary relationships: those relationships that we choose to be in of our own volition.
Involuntary relationships: those relationships we are forced into via familial connections, work, school, etc.
Social relationships are relationships that occasionally meet our needs and lack the closeness and interdependence of personal relationships.
These four types can cross-over with each other in various ways depending on the nature of the relationship. Example: Personal Voluntary, Social Involuntary, etc.
Personal relationships: meet emotional, relational, and instrumental needs, as they are intimate, close, and interdependent relationships such as those we have with best friends, partners, or immediate family.
Relational Dialectics:
Novelty-Predictability: the idea that we desire predictability as well as spontaneity in our relationships.
Openness-Closedness: the desire to be open and honest with others while at the same time not wanting to reveal every thing about yourself to someone else.
Autonomy-Connection: our need to have close connection with others as well as our need to have our own space and identity.
Social Exchange Theory: weighing the costs and rewards of a given relationship. Reward outcomes benefit us in some way, while costs require us to give something to others.
