Imagine That You Are a Social Learning Theorist Studying Communication

Essay

Imagine that you are a social learning theorist studying communication patterns in intimate relationships.A couple has just arrived at the research lab,and you explain that they will be asked to discuss a problem they are trying to solve as well as share with each other a time when someone else (other than their partner)hurt their feelings.What types of data/information will you,as the researcher,collect based on these interactions? Assuming the couple is in a satisfied relationship,what would you observe about their interactions as compared to couples in unsatisfied relationships?
