Objectives: To apply relational communication theories and/or concepts to real life experiences and relationships, to understand and evaluate relationships based on researched theories, to explain theories to a general audience (not an academic audience), to make an informed critique of relational theories or concepts, to construct a well written analysis using proper APA format.
Instructions: For this assignment you will construct a relationship analysis paper. The relationship must be voluntary, not family. You will construct a 3-5 page paper that explains the relational theory or concept of your choice. You must construct the explanation portion of the paper using terms an average person would understand (but with proper in-text citations, grammar and punctuation). In the second portion of the paper, you will relate the concept to one of your voluntary personal relationships. You can utilize just the components of the theory or one of the questions posed in the relationship analysis document. Please give a brief (no more than 1 page history of the relationship).
