Interpersonal relationships are
social associations, connections, or affiliations between two or more people. They vary in differing levels of
intimacy and sharing, implying the discovery or establishment of
common ground, and may be centered around something(s) shared in common. The study of relationships is of concern to
sociology,
psychology and
anthropology.
Stages of Relationship Formation
1)
Contact:
- a) Uncertainty reduction - through eye contact, identification, opening disclosure, etc.
- b) Perceptual - notice how a person looks at the other and their body language.
- c) Interactional cues - nodding, maintaining eye contact, etc.
- d) Invitational - encouraging the relationship (e.g. asking if they want to meet up later for coffee)
- e) Avoidance strategies - if one person discloses and the other does not, minimal response, lack of eye contact, etc.
2) Involvement
- a) Feelers - hints or questions (ex. asking about family)
- b) Intensifying strategies - further the relationship (ex. meeting old friend, bringing the other to meet family, becoming more affectionate, etc.)
- c) Public - seen in public together often (ex. if in a romantic relationship, may be holding hands)
