Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course examines the ways in which couple relationships are formed, maintained, and dissolved. Relevant theory and empirical research will be used to examine a range of relationship processes (including attraction, love, intimacy, commitment, power, communication, and conflict) that may have an impact on the development and quality of an intimate relationship. Throughout our explorations of intimate relationships, we will examine how gender influences relationships processes, and specifically how gendered power affects the quality of intimate relationships. The student will become familiar with theories, research findings, and methodologies used to study features of and changes in intimate relationships.
