In this module, we will examine how some interpersonal relationships develop and become more personal. To think through the distinctions between impersonal and personal relationships we will study the contextual view of interpersonal communication and compare it to the developmental view. This module will also explore how conflicts arise in relationships and the importance of self-disclosure. Later in the course, we will also apply some of the principles in Chapters Thirteen and Fourteen of our text to the study of fictional interpersonal relationships when we do our group projects.
