Week of Nov. 2-8

REMINDER: Daylight Savings Time ended this morning at 2am. Set your clocks back an hour. :)


Here is what's on the schedule for this week:

Read Chapter 6, Interpersonal Communication and participate in the discussion for this week:

Answer one in each of your three posts, at least 24 hours apart:

*Which pattern (rigid complementarity, competitive symmetry, or submissive symmetry) do you think would be the most difficult to change? Why? Which would be the most damaging to a relationship? Which would be the most potentially damaging to the self-esteem of the individuals involved?


*Think about the filters you use to eliminate people from consideration as potential romantic partners. What characteristics or behaviors lead you to judge others as unattractive? Does Duck's theory make sense to you? Have you ever eliminated someone by using a sociological or pre-interaction cue only to reconsider them based on interaction and cognitive cues?


*Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.


***Remember to post 2 responses to your colleagues blogs at least 24 hours apart.
