I'm not in school today due to illness. You need to look at theories of why relationships fail - we will review all of this next week.
We introduced theories of maintenance of relationships last week - you should be able to outline four 'economic' theories of why relationships continue - Social Exchange, Interdependence, Investment and Equity. Each of these can be used to give a different reason why a relationship ends. Have a go at answering the following question for each of the four:
"According to the .......... theory, a relationship will come to an end if ....."
Duck has a four-stage theory addressing the questions 'how do relationships end?' (rather than 'why?'). You need to be able to give a fairly detailed outline of this and evaluate it. Have a go at the questions on this sheet, and bring all this to next Monday's lesson.
