Identify and describe the three classifications of relational expectations

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: The three classifications of relational expectations are:
1. Socially based—those expectations for what it means to be a best friend, for how you should be treated by a romantic partner or spouse, for how an opposite-sex friend behaves toward you
2. Relationship-specific—you and your partners also develop sets of implicit and explicit expectations and understandings specific to your relationship. Implicit understandings represent an unspoken compact between partners about the relationship and each other; explicit understandings are stated compacts and agreements
3. Severity—failure events and transgressions can be thought of as occurring along a continuum of severity, with those that are least severe often being ignored altogether, and the most severe having devastating consequences to the relationship.
