Journal 3: Challenges in Relationships – examine a specific relationship challenge you are now
or have faced in a relationship with a friend/family member/romantic partner. ◦Three theories or
concepts for analysis**
◦2 single spaced pages in length
◦The description section should be no more than 1 page in length
◦Use only concepts/theories from Chapter 10 for this entry
Please follow these directions so there is nothing left up to my imagination of what I think you
are talking about.
**I am often asked “What is the difference between a theory and a concept?” A theory is most
obvious because it usually is named “____ Theory” such as Standpoint Theory or Expectancy
Violation Theory.” A concept is any term you find in the textbook that describes an idea
presented in the chapter. You can think of a concept as a vocabulary word or subsection
heading. So, halo effect or primacy effect in Chapter 3 are concepts. In Chapter 8, a simple,
ego, or pseudoconflict are all examples of concepts. In Chapter 10, long distance relationships
or jealousy are both concepts. You can use either theories or concepts for the analysis section in
each journal
Each entry MUST be organized exactly as outlined below:
Description
Context: Type the context at the top of this section (you will write the context of the interaction where and when it occurred.) If you are unsure of what we mean by context of interpersonal
interactions, read about it online and in the text. Remember, we use theory to explain, not general
terms. For the Challenges Entry, your incident will focus on just one challenge from the
following: jealousy, termination of a relationship, the impact of distance on a relationship, or
deception. See the textbook and online lessons for information about how theories and concepts
help us understand challenges in important relationships.
Interaction: Here, write the actual event, giving enough detail of what occurred so the analysis
will be easily understood. Most people find it easier to write in a narrative form rather than a
dialogue form, but it is your choice. The “Description” portion is about ½ page in length.
Analysis
Concept/Theory: Begin by writing the name of the theory or concept (USE CAPS AND bold
face so it is obvious to me) and write a 1 or 2 sentence explanation of the theory or concept, so it
is clear you know what the theory or concept means. The theory or concept you choose should
come directly from the chapter applying to the lesson. So, for the conflict journal, the theories
and concepts you use to analyze your experience should come from the chapter dealing with
conflict.
Application: Now, APPLY the theory or concept to the event you have described above. In this
area you will explain why this theory or concept helps us to understand the interaction YOU
PROVIDED IN THE “Description.”
