Dependent on the frequency of contact, duration of contact, diversity of interactions, direction of influence, strength of influence, interdependence. They can be uni-directional (ie. prof lecturing to students) or bi-directional (hopefully friends and romantic partners). Strength of relationship can vary based on the individuals, for example an australian aquatic on facebook will have less of an influence that your mom who moved to australia. This class will focus on close relationships which are strong, frequent, and have a diverse interdependence that lasts over a considerable period of time. Intimate relationships: primarily romantic with sexual charge and possibly labeled as more than friends with a feeling of exclusivity. The partner is special, there is desire or lust for the partner, and the relationship has an influence on our health and physiology. Universal: humans have a need for relationships and affiliation because we are social animals.
