In terms of romantic relationships, which stage would you consider two people who are dating to be in serious relationship? Specifically, what about that stage in the relationship makes the relationship serious (and not just a casual relationship)? Provide two reasons.a. Pick a stage: Initiating, Experimenting, Intensifying, Integrating, or Bondingb. Reason 1: c. Reason 2: 2. In lecture, I discussed Uncertainty Reduction Theory, which “suggests that human beings are uncomfortable with uncertainty and seek the means to predict the trajectory of social interactions. In attempting to reduce that uncertainty, people tend to utilize passive, active, and interactive strategies to help predict and explain someone’s behavior during an interaction” (https://www.mastersincommunications.com/research/interpersonal-communication/uncertainty-reduction-theory#:~:text=The%20theory%20suggests%20that%20human,someone’s%20behavior%20during%20an%20interaction (Links to an external site.)). Do people use certain strategies (i.e., passive, active, and interactive strategies) more during certain stages of relationships in Knapp’s Model, or are all three strategies used frequently throughout all the stages of relational development? Provide two arguments why.a.b. 3. You have a good friend who prefers the avoidance style of conflict. Based on research that you find, what are two recommendations for how you (specifically) handle conflict with this friend?a. What is your conflict style: Pick one: avoidance, accommodation, competition, compromise, or collaboration. b. Recommendation 1 for how you should approach conflict with this friend: c. Recommendation 2 for how you should approach conflict with this friend:  4. Chapter 8 discussed relational dialectics.a. Which relational dialectic (with research as support and not based on your opinion!) is most important for keeping couples satisfied in their relationship over the years? Pick one: integration-separation OR expression-privacy OR stability-change.b. Provide a reason for why this dialectic helps keep couples satisfied over the years: c. Provide a second reason for why this dialectic helps keep couples satisfied over the years:5. “You” language can have detrimental effects during our more heated arguments and conflicts. Explain are two negative effects of using “you” language during heated conflict. I recommend looking at what academic studies have concluded rather than using articles from popular culture web sites, blogs, or personal web pages.a.b. 6. Code switching is the process of modifying the use of verbal and nonverbal communication in different contexts. We code switch when we speak in different foreign languages, of course, but we also code switch when we talk to different audiences (e.g., best friend vs. manager at work vs. parent) and when we move between different occasions (e.g., at home vs. at a concert vs. at a dog park). What are two ways that we can improve our code-switching abilities when we talk to different audience or move between different occasions?a.b.7. Territoriality is the sense of personal ownership attached to a particular space; markers are the placement of an object to establish nonverbal “ownership” of an area or space. However, people will also use markers to establish that they are dating someone or married. For example, people will wear wedding rings to show others that their spouse is “taken” and that they are with that person. What are two examples of effective (and realistic) markers (other than rings) that married couples or people in long-term romantic relationships use to show that two people are together? Please discuss how each marker works and how effective they are.a.b.  PreviousNext Arts & Humanities Writing CMST 210 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
