Document Summary
Overview of social relationships: human need for affiliation (to be connected, validated and recognized) Characteristics reflect the drive to be in a social group (e. g. cooperativeness, loyalty, adherence to social norms/fear of rejection, distress at the end of a relationship: basic unit of social systems, developmental reciprocities (key to development) Are reciprocal, each person pays attention to and responds to the behavior of the other. Are interdependent, the people in the relationship influence each other and participate in activities over an extended period. Since relationships are dynamic, a developmental change in one person, will have a developmental change in the other (known as developmental reciprocities). Social interaction is such an important aspect of life that it was seen as the ultimate punishment. Health: you deal with stress better and live longer (especially with men, results are varied in women). ** living alone = a risk factor for poor patient prognosis.
