Document Summary
Alex s vigny, phd, apr, mcipr (winter term, 2013) Loneliness and depression increase with online communication. Spending time with family and friends is still a #1 priority. Relational messages: affinity, respect, immediacy, control, metacommunication. Start to push the limit/ there tastes: intensifying. You trust a person and start to disclose the relationship: integrating. Find the same things funny, offensive: bonding. Formalize relationship and announce it: differentiating. Constantly cycle between differentiate and bonding: circumscribing. Make boxes in your life, death of relationship: stagnating. Start to live in 2 separate worlds: avoiding, terminating. Dialectical model: connection vs autonomy, predictability vs novelty. When predictability goes down, so does trust. Have to plan novelty in a relationship: openness vs privacy. Dialectical tensions exist when two opposing or incompatible forces exist simultaneously. Strategies for managing dialectical tensions: denial, disorientation, selection, alternation, segmentation, moderation, reaffirmation. Relationships are constantly changing: every time you have a new experience with someone the relationship changes.
