    Study Notes

    Relational Transgressions

    • Relational transgressions occur when implicit or explicit relational rules are violated.
    • Common transgressions identified by students include infidelity, deception, wanting/dating others.
    • Explicit and implicit rules are important because they define expectations and boundaries within a relationship.
    • Costs and rewards often drive transgressions, with short-term rewards outweighing long-term costs.
    • Types of transgressions include acts of disloyalty (betrayal), infidelity (cheating), disassociation/exclusion (avoiding/distancing), personal criticism, relational devaluing, inconsiderate acts/false promises, and violent/threatening acts.
    • Microaggressions are subtle acts of exclusion or disrespect.

    Costs and Rewards

    • Rewards are appealing and short-term; costs are longer-term.
    • Students are more likely to engage in misconduct if perceived rewards are high and costs low or avoidable.

    Interpersonal Violence

    • Four types: physical, sexual, stalking, and psychological harm.

    Social Support and Transgressions

    • Social support can either discourage or encourage harmful behaviors relating to transgressions.

    Forgiveness

    • Forgiveness involves letting go of negative feelings toward someone who has wronged you.
    • It does not include forgiving and forgetting, condoning behavior, granting mercy, wishing for revenge, or reconciliation.
    • Forgiveness can involve seeking apology, compensation, excuses, or justification.

    Relationship Characteristics and Stability

    • Involuntary vs. Voluntary relationships, investment, barriers, rewards, and costs affect relationship stability.
    • Types of de-escalation and relationship ending include drifting apart, bad terms, antipathetic relationships, and catastrophes.
    • Breakup behaviors can include direct/indirect strategies, wanting to save face, level of information provided about the reason for the breakup, and possibility of getting back together.

    Breakup Behaviors

    • Common behaviors before, during, and after breakups (e.g., hurtfulness, direct dump, relationship trick talk).

    Relationship Skills

    • Important skills for relationship recovery are emotional regulation, self-compassion, effective communication, cognitive restructuring, and social support.

    Modern Dating

    • Dating apps significantly changed how people meet and interact, which can lead to superficial and transactional relationships.
    • The "paradox of choice" can occur due to the abundance of options, leading to decision fatigue and dissatisfaction.
    • Dating norms are changing, increasingly focusing on immediate gratification instead of traditional rituals.
    • Expectations of dating can differ from reality, sometimes leading to disappointment.
    • Cultural differences exist in dating norms and practices.
    • Ansari's research analyzed modern dating using surveys, interviews, and ethnographic studies.
