If people want to keep a relationship as long ad they want, they should know Maslow’s Interpersonal Needs Theory which includes affection, inclusion, and control. Affection means how two people show their love to each other; inclusion means each people have a part in their relationship, and control means not only one person make decision; each person should have their voice. It will be a successful relationship if it includes this three things.

  • Interpersonal Relationships In The Film Mean Girls

    1019 Words  | 3 Pages

    A good interpersonal relationship makes each member feel like he or she is included. One needs to feel included in order to have a sense of belonging and in order to feel like he or she plays a vital role in the friendship. The second aspect of a good interpersonal relationship is control. Each member must feel that he or she is in control for at least part of the time. When control isn’t shared between members of the interpersonal group we have discovered through the film Mean Girls that members want to “rebel” against the leader and ultimately take control for themselves. The last, important component for a good interpersonal relationship is affection. Each member in the relationship needs to feel loved and appreciated by the other members. When they do not feel loved or cared for they feel as though they are not needed and therefore do not feel the need to reciprocate affection for other members of the group. The film Mean Girls shows us that without just one of these aspects of a good interpersonal relationship, there can be conflict causing the friendly dynamic, and even the entire relationship to be destroyed. Therefore, we have learned that it is important to communicate effectively, include others, show love and affection, and share control with each member of our interpersonal

    As technology continuously evolves and integrates with our lives, its impact inevitably attracts the attention of people ranging from researchers to parents, and conservative elderlies to adolescents. When chatrooms and other game based chat mediums were popularized in the early 1990s, research papers, with massive empirical data, that suggested strong negative correlations between CMC and social well-being flooded academia. However, more recent studies have proved otherwise. Communication researchers Valkenburg and Peter, explore this change in data in their 2009 publication. Their paper first explores the possible aspect of CMC that might have given rise to unhealthy social life in the 90s (for example, lack of internet connectivity could

    Children’s social contexts and networks provide important resources and influences that have the capacity to contribute to and enhance their psychological well-being. (Losier & Morrison, 2007; Sheridan, Warnes, Cowan, Schemm & Clarke, 2004). On an international level, school environments are central to facilitating positive student outcome. Although establishing a flawless school environment is impractical, teachers can influence the setting in which children learn to stimulate positive outcomes.

  • Personal And Interpersonal Communication

    “… the communication choices we make determine the personal, interpersonal, and relationship outcomes that follow.” (McCornack, S., 2016) Non-verbal communications happen to us daily with everything that we do. From the hand gestures that we make when talking to others, or even the way that we walk. We show different types of body language based off the environment that we put ourselves into. We can show completely different non-verbal communications in the way that we greet someone that we know, or with someone that we have never met before. This is like wise with the way that we say goodbye to that person. A good example of this would be the lobby of a hockey rink on a busy Monday night. It’s a good location for observing human interactions with greetings and goodbyes, because it’s the place where everyone must walk through to get to the ice arena. It’s also where parents like to wait for the children to get dressed in the locker rooms. Being in the “personal” or “social” (McCornack, S., 2016) space would not be necessary to observe clearly, their

    Intimate relationships are a lot of times used for one’s personal needs. Relationships are being created with significant others for many different reason. I have never experienced being in a relationship for the wrong reasons, so I cannot talk much about this. However I can tell you a common issue I personally notice in today’s relationship struggling is the partners don’t talk about their feelings with one another. “Difficulty articulating what you feel; many adults don’t know to express what they feel. Instead, you communicate what you think” (Sachs, 2005). I believe this statement has a lot of truth to it because a lot of couples will not talk things out hoping that they will reside, when in reality that doesn’t happen. Tony and I could definitely work on this factor in our relationship, I have a hard time opening up and telling him my feelings about stuff that may be going on. Tony is really good about telling me how he feels at any time. I struggle with this because I push it off not hoping it will reside but because I feel like it is something I will get over and move on with. This is something we both are willing to work on and it will take time to accomplish
