Below you will briefly describe a previous, or current, relationship for each of the stages found in Knapp’s Model of Relational Development from Chapter 8 located in the “Modules Section” in the Chapter 8 Outline. The relationship you choose could be an acquaintance, co-worker, family member, friend, or romantic partner. You may also choose a different relationship for each stage; you don’t have to use the same one for all of them.
Describe an example from a relationship you have experienced for each of the stages below (again, you can find descriptions for each stage in the Chapter 8 Outline in the Modules Section):
Stage 2: Experimenting
Stage 3: Intensifying
Stage 5: Bonding
Stage 8: Stagnating
Stage 9: Avoiding
Stage 10: Terminating
