Document Summary
Interpersonal- communication that occurs between at least 2 interdependent parties. Independency creates sets of expectations- different standards for friends, best friends, partner. Nagging- interaction in which one person repeatedly makes a request the other person repeatedly ignores it and both become increasingly annoyed. Be patient- give time to comply with your request. Encourage by doing some mutually enjoyable activity. Not so much about finding the right partner, but being the right partner. Norms- certain expectations that help shape our experience, limit and direct behavior, help make behavior predictable. Ex. every thursday night you go to pizza. Longer the relationship most specified the norms. Frequency with which norms are established is linked to the disruptive power each person has over the other power one person has to keep the other from doing what he/she wants to do. Common disagreements between 2 people normative statements reduce the level and frequency of the conflict.
