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)
