Document Summary

Con icts within intimate partnerships are more likely to cover a different range of topics and are less reserved than con icts with a stranger or acquaintance. Con icts as destructive: historically, intimate con icts were viewed as bad for the relationship. Transformational view: con icts are a necessary part of every relationship. De nition of con ict: interpersonal process that occurs whenever the actions of one person interfere with the actions of another, this applies to any type of relationship. Gottman and krokoff (1989): defensiveness, stubbornness, and withdrawal were related with dysfunctional relationships long-term. This is because there is often an escalation of con ict rather than resolution. If the resolution favours partnerships, the relationship progresses. If resolutions favours the individual, the relationship is more likely to dissolve. Lack of con ict: the relationship becomes boring and the couple will only have positive things to devalue over time.
