List and discuss the three attributes that make friendships unique from other interpersonal relationships

Fill in the blank with correct word


1. Friendships are voluntarily formed. You can't be forced to be friends with someone, so you choose friends based on your own needs and desires. (In most cases you cannot choose your family or coworkers.)
2. Friends have the ability to influence one another. We'll often accept encouragement and criticism from friends that we won't accept from family members or others we don't like. (NOTE: This explanation is not offered in the textbook per se, but may be inferred.)
3. Friendships are often developed with our peers who have status or power comparable to ours. Often in families and coworker relationships there is a difference of age and status.
