Knapp's Relationship Model
We live in a society with the number of people around us. We make different types of relationship with them like a family relationship, friendships, romantic relationship, and relationship with our co-workers. Mark Knapp described the ten stages of a relationship; five refers to the development and five to the ending of a relationship. In this assignment, I will discuss the five stages in which I made a friendship relationship with my colleague "Roger."
Initiation:
I met Roger at my new job. His table was next to me. We both greet each other and observe each other appearance. He helped me to understand my tasks. We used to ask general questions related to education and job experiences. This is how we got to know basic information about each other.
Experimentation:
Roger and I continue to see each other. He used to give his precious time for proofreading my documents to help me in making my work perfect. We have been getting together sometime, for hang out and dinner. All these activities helped us to know more about each other.
Intensifying:
We both entered in the strong friendship relationship. Our trust and commitment helped us to continue this relationship. We started sharing our personal information, thoughts, emotions, family issues, secret, and regrets with each other. This stage developed our emotional and relational investment in our relationship.
Integration:
Our emotional attachment clearly showed us how really we want to be together in the future. We are together every day for more than seven hours, present for other every time. We ask for suggestions before taking any decision. The level of trust between us made our emotional friendship relationship more profound and beautiful.
Bonding:
It’s Roger’s birthday. We have developed the extreme friendship and are proved our relationship unbreakable connection in front of family and friends. Everyone knows the strong bonding we have, and we are looking forward to continuing and mending it.
