For this week’s reading response, answer both questions fully and completely (two questions in total). To fully answer the question, tether your response to specific theory concepts from your chapter reading and use quotes from the chapter to help ground your argument (you do not need a full APA citation for quotes, just put which edition of the book you are using and a page number — (10th, p. 214), for example). Each question asks you to think in the specific (your personal experiences) and then tie it to the larger understanding of the theory. As we assess your responses, we will be looking to see that you understand the theory by being able to use the concepts from the theory to explain the specific examples.
Uncertainty Reduction Theory (URT)
1) Write about a time when you have experienced relational turbulence in your own life. To what extent did partner interference and/or relational uncertainty contribute to it? What other factors led you to experience turbulence? How was the turbulence reduced? Using principles and concepts from URT, explain how this scenario played out and how well the theory accounted for this interaction.
Relational Dialectics Theory
2) Think of a recent relational conflict you have had with someone close to you. What primary dialectical tension was present? What discourses constituted that conflict? Pages 137-140 (11th edition) describe several ways that discourses can struggle. In your conflict, in what ways did these discourses struggle? What this pattern of struggle satisfying to you? Why or why not?
