relationship

Examples of relationship in the following topics:

• Secondary Groups

  • Secondary groups are large groups whose relationships are impersonal and goal oriented; their relationships are temporary.
  • Examples of secondary groups include vendor-to-client relationships, a doctor-to-patient relationship, a mechanic, an accountant, and such.
  • Unlike first groups, secondary groups are large groups whose relationships are impersonal and goal oriented.
  • Secondary relationships involve weak emotional ties and little personal knowledge of one another.
  • Primary groups can form within secondary groups as relationships become more personal and close.

• Exchange

  • Social exchange theory applies this type of equation to social relationships.
  • As articulated by social exchange theory, individuals only stay in relationships when they determine that the exchange that will result from being in that relationship is worth the cost.
  • Social exchange theory advances the idea that relationships are essential for life in society and that it is in one's interest to form relationships with others.
  • Nevertheless, social exchange theory argues that forming relationships is advantageous because of exchange.
  • Each party to the relationship exchanges particular goods and perspectives, creating a richer life for both.

• Correlation and Causation

  • Correlation refers to a relationship between two (or more) variables in which they change together.
  • Causation refers to a relationship between two (or more) variables where one variable causes the other.
  • The real explanation of this relationship is the introduction of a third variable: temperature.
  • It is important to not confound a correlation with a cause/effect relationship.
  • It is often the case that correlations between variables are found but the relationship turns out to be spurious.

• Primary Groups

  • A primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
  • Examples of these would be family groups, love relationships, crisis support groups, and church groups.
  • A primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
  • Examples of these would be family groups, love relationships, crisis support groups, and church groups.
  • Relationships formed in primary groups are often long lasting and goals in themselves.

• Introduction

  • Social structure is the relatively enduring patterns of behavior and relationships within a society.
  • Thus, a society is not only the group of people and their culture, but the relationships between the people and the institutions within that group.
  • Culture is distinct from society in that it adds meanings to relationships.
  • Thus, while the relationship exists in both (i.e., they both have social structure), what the relationship means differs by culture.

• Kinship Patterns

  • Kinship refers to the web of social relationships that form an important part of the lives of most humans in most societies.
  • Ideas about kinship do not necessarily assume any biological relationship between individuals, rather just close associations.
  • In anthropology, kinship refers to the web of social relationships that form an important part of human lives.
  • Family tree showing the relationship of each person to the orange person.
  • The genetic kinship degree of relationship is marked in red boxes by percentage (%).

• Spousal Abuse

  • Spousal abuse can be defined as a pattern of abusive behaviors by one or both partners in an intimate relationship.
  • The relationship between gender and domestic violence is a controversial topic.
  • Domestic violence also occurs in same-sex relationships.
  • Gay and lesbian relationships have been identified as a risk factor for abuse in certain populations.
  • Historically, little interest has been directed at domestic violence in same-sex relationships.

• Primary and Secondary Groups

  • A Primary group is typically a small social group whose members share close, personal, enduring relationships.
  • The goal of primary groups is actually the relationships themselves rather than achieving some other purpose.
  • Secondary groups are large groups whose relationships are impersonal and goal-oriented.
  • Rather than having as the goal the maintenance and development of the relationships themselves, these groups generally come together to accomplish a specific purpose.

• Introduction

  • A social network is a set of actors (or points, or nodes, or agents) that may have relationships (or edges, or ties) with one another.
  • To build a useful understanding of a social network, a complete and rigorous description of a pattern of social relationships is a necessary starting point for analysis.
  • That is, ideally we will know about all of the relationships between each pair of actors in the population.

• Continuity Theory

  • The continuity theory proposes that older adults maintain the same activities, behaviors, personalities, and relationships of the past.
  • The continuity theory of normal aging states that older adults will usually maintain the same activities, behaviors, personality traits, and relationships as they did in their earlier years of life .
  • The external structure of an individual consists of relationships and social roles, and it supports the maintenance of a stable self-concept and lifestyle.
  • Older adults hold on to many of the beliefs, practices, and relationships they had in the past as they continue to age.
