Study Notes
Love Languages
- Five love languages exist: affirming words, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch.
- Affirming words include compliments, support, and expressions of valuing another.
- Quality time involves mindful presence and undivided attention.
- Gifts can be small or large, expensive or inexpensive, and represent affection or thoughtfulness.
- Acts of service involve doing favors for another, showing care.
- Physical touch, sexual or otherwise, expresses intimacy.
Family Communication Styles/Patterns
- Conversation Orientation: Measures how open communication is within a family. High orientation allows open discussion of personal matters, while low orientation primarily focuses on superficial topics.
- Conformity Orientation: Reflects family members’ adherence to hierarchy and shared beliefs. High conformity implies expected adherence to family values, while low conformity allows for diverse viewpoints.
Family Communication Patterns (Wood)
- Consensual: High conversation and conformity; open communication, but family authority maintains decision-making.
- Pluralistic: High conversation, low conformity; free expression without pressure to conform.
- Protective: Low conversation, high conformity; limited communication, emphasized obedience to authority.
- Laissez-faire: Low conversation and conformity; minimal connection, independence emphasized.
Family Life Cycle Stages
- Establishing a Family: Couple establishes routines, expectations, and roles, and marriage is recognized.
- Enlarging a Family: Addition of children; new roles and challenges arise; marital satisfaction often decreases initially.
- Developing a Family: Parent-child relationships become crucial to children's identity development; secure attachment style encouraged.
- Encouraging Independence: Children seek independence from parents, leading to potential conflict regarding interests and parenting styles.
- Launching Children: Children leave home; couples redefine their roles, potentially experiencing renewed focus on their relationship.
- Post-Launching: Time for couples to redefine marriage roles; can be a happy time or marriage deteriorates.
- Retirement: Focus may shift to grandchildren and new relationships; a time for potential enjoyment or boredom.
Couple Types (Fitzpatrick)
- Traditional: Highly interdependent and expressive, sharing conventional views.
- Independent: Less interdependent and emotionally expressive, with less conventional views.
- Separate: Low interdependence and emotional expression, emphasizing autonomy.
- Mixed-Marriage: Couples with different views on marriage; often a mix of traditional and separate philosophies.
Family Systems Theory (Dorrance)
- Sub-systems: Smaller units within the family (e.g., couples, parent-child, sibling).
- Ongoing/Dynamic: Families evolve over time.
- Openness: Interaction with external environment.
- Boundary: Rules defining family boundaries, regarding who is included and excluded.
- Feedback: How outside world responds, and how the family reacts.
- Hierarchy: Structure based on age or other factors.
- Self-reflexive: Families can self-examine and change behaviors.
Family Processes (Systems Theory)
- Mutual Influence: Events impacting one family member affect others.
- Stability & Regularity: Routines and rules create stability for family members.
- Change: Families reorganize through members' additions or removals.
- Equifinality: Different paths can lead to similar outcomes.
Relationship Dissolution Accounts (Harvey)
- Accounts are story-like explanations for relationship endings.
- They serve to explain, control, understand, promote self-esteem, achieve closure.
- Attributions of blame are common in dissolution accounts.
- Accounts are used to persuade others of the narrator's perspective.
Affordances (Jesse Fox)
- Affordances are properties determined by user activity.
- Personalization: Sending messages to individuals vs. groups.
- Visibility: Access to information.
- Network Association: Facilitates contact between users.
- Social Feedback: Feedback like likes and comments.
- Conversational Control: Control over posted content.
- Context Collapse: Intermingling of social circles.
Relational Dissolution & Social Media
- Public accounts on social media occur during the social stage of dissolution.
- Breakups are sometimes announced promptly (or gradually) on social media.
- Public accounts can be crafted to manage perceptions in various ways.
Socioemotional Selectivity Theory
- Emphasizes emotional well-being in aging adults.
- Adults prioritize meaningful relationships as they perceive time limits.
Age & Ostracism
- Younger adults experience ostracism more frequently than both middle-aged and older adults.
- Middle-aged adults experience less ostracism.
- Older adults may experience more ostracism due to aging limitations, leaving social networks, or health issues.
Interpersonal Deception Theory (Propositions)
- Receivers are more likely to assess senders as credible when context is interactive, communicators are skilled, truth bias exists, and communication aligns with expectations.
Interactivity
- Interactivity refers to the dependency and contingency of messages, along with their real-time or asynchronous nature. E.g face to face vs email is low to high interactivity.
Strategic vs. Nonstrategic Activity
- Nonstrategic activity involves behaviors showing distress.
- Strategic activity manages informational content, nonverbal cues, and image.
Truth Bias, Task Demands, Deception Detection
- Truth bias means overestimating truthfulness, hence reducing accuracy in deception detection.
- Task demands refer to the difficulty of communication based on mental or emotional factors.
Research Traditions
- [Specific research tradition for each theory is missing from the prompt. It's generally assumed, but not stated what the category is.]
