Remember, the word count is a minimum . . . you can go over to get your ideas across. This paper is clearly outlined and the instructions are detailed in what is expected.

THESE PAPERS MUST BE IN ESSAY FORM and conform to the conventions of English grammar and usage.

8)  If the relationship in ongoing, what do you see for the future?  Does the relationship require a significant amount of maintenance or repair?  What would be required for the relationship to terminate?

9)  How have the concepts of power and control played out in the relationships?  Who is the more dominant party you, or the other party?  Why?  Is there a significant amount of power inequity?  If so, what would be required for the power structure to be more equally balanced?

10) What theory of relationship development and/or deterioration most closely characterizes this relationship attraction, reinforcements, social exchange, or equity?

11)  How is conflict managed in the relationship?  What cultural and gender differences exist in the relationships, in terms of expectations, communication patterns, and conflict management?
