Relationship Analysis #3 – Relationship Development
Your Name: ____________________________
For this assignment, you are to analyze a dyad that shares a significant relationship from the assigned film. (If you use a different film you will earn a zero on the assignment.) You are to analyze the relationship shared by a single dyad from the film. The dyad must share a significant relationship. You must use the Stages of Relationship Development for your analysis.
You must show a clear understanding. Definitions have not been provided. They should be in your notes .
Be careful you do not allow your analysis to become a retelling of the plot.
Remember to use the same dyad (two people) throughout your analysis. Do not include a third person or switch
between dyads. If you use a third person or switch between dyads only questions that include the initial dyad
identified will be used; other questions will result in a zero. Do not recount the plot.
Do NOT include any kind of critique of the film. I do not care whether you liked the movie or not. Films are not
shown for entertainment value. If you make any mention of how much you like or dislike the film 10% of the total
points available will be deducted. This includes explaining any of the logistics associated with the film (actors,
director, date, etc.). You must include the film title and the names of the characters in your dyad but no other logistics from the film.
Format:
Answer the questions on the rubric. Use the appropriate numbers and include the questions. Do not use essay format.
If you submit it in essay format, I will not read it and you will earn a zero. Questions must be in bold to differentiate
between question and answer.
For example:
1. What happens during the Initiating stage (definition) of Relationship Development?
Answer: I am not going to actually answer this for you but you should be able to see that the answer is
clearly different from the question.
Use your own words for all definitions. Failure to do so will result in a grade reduction. Use correct English syntax
and punctuation. This means you will need to carefully proofread for spelling and/or grammatical errors. Do not rely
solely on your computer’s spell-check function.
Failure to include the questions typed as the example above will result in a penalty of 10%. Failure to use the correct
the numbering system (number each question) will result in a penalty of 10%.
(Questions not included and/or typed in bold = -10%)
(Questions not correctly numbered = -10%)
Keep in mind that stages may or may not appear in order, some stages may be seen more than once and some may not
be seen at all. If you believe a stage is not present in the relationship, as far as the film is concerned, do NOT leave
that question blank. Instead, indicate that the stage was not evident in the film and explain why you believe this to be
the case. Make sure to answer ALL questions requiring a definition and/or description of a stage.
Knapp’s Model of Relationship Development is not in your text. Descriptions of each stage should be in your notes.
