Intimate
relationships are everywhere, all the time, and the point of this is to inform how you think about them in
the world around you. It’s not enough to know the material of the textbook and the lectures – I am hoping
that you practice applying what we discuss in class to the relationships you experience and hear about. In
turn, I am hoping that your experiences inform how you think about the material we discuss in class. With
this assignment, I am asking you to practice the back-and-forth process that connects real world
experiences to scientific principles.
So, for this assignment, I am asking you to: Analyze how the global coronavirus pandemic has affected intimate relationships, using principles from the lecture and the text.
The completed assignment will consist of exactly two double-spaced pages. In each of those pages, you
are to identify a relationship phenomenon that we have discussed in class (for example: romantic
attraction, conflict, social support, sexual intimacy, intimate partner violence, etc.), and then analyze how
you think the global coronavirus pandemic has changed or is likely to change how that phenomenon
unfolds within intimate relationships. So, analyze one phenomenon per page.
Your responses will be evaluated for their quality and for the clarity with which they are expressed.
I have attached the textbook as well. MAKE SURE TO USE RELATIONSHIP PHENOMENONS MENTIONED IN TEXT ONLY PLEASE
