QUALITY INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS

     A quality interpersonal relationship is a relationship which is built on understanding of self and
others.  A quality interpersonal relationship goes beyound just being casually aquainted with others to
sharing with and gaining an understanding of one another.  What I mean by sharing with is that you get a
feeling for each other.  I can empathize with you and see things through your eyes.  When a quality
interpersonal relationship is present there's certain amount of synergy that takes place between the persons
involved in the relationship.  A good example of a quality interpersonal relationship could be found within
the strong family unit.
     If we were to study a family that is close knit what would we see.  We would most likely see the
following characteristics: individual respect, trust, open lines of communication, open mindedness,
patience, empathy, love and many other attributes which add up to a strong interpersonal relationship.
With in a strong family you find people that truely feel for each other.  For example if Mom is sick the
morale of the other family members goes down.  If Dad gets a promotion the hold family shares the
feelings of esteem with Dad.  The point I'm trying to make is that in quality interpersonal relationship you
will start to feel some of things that I feel which allows you to better understand me and communicate with
me.  Although a quality interpersonal relationship sounds like the best thing since Campbell soup and the
Gerry-curl it's not a relationship that's easily achieved.
     To achieve a quality interpersonal relationship takes time, effort, desire, understanding, trust,
disclosure, and feedback, effective communication, and etc.  When we first meet a person we don't
immediately establish an interpersonal relationship.  As implied in the opening paragraphs, a quality
interpersonal relationship goes for beyound conducting casual conversation.  It takes time to build an
interpersonal relationship.  Why?  People like to interact; however, they are protective of there feelings and
don't immediately open up to let you inside to see who's live there.  What I'm saying is to establish an
interpersonal relationship with others you need to know things about them and get some perceptiion of how
they interpret things.  To get this type of understanding about another person takes time.  A good example
would be the development of a friendship.
     Think of your best friend.  This is probably one of the most productive inpersonal relationships
that exist for you.  Now go back from the time you met up until now.  How did you get to become such best
friends?  As you think through the process you find those things that lead you to become best friends are
the some of the same things that are required to build and interpersonal relationship.  I think the depth or
even mere existance of an interpersonal relationship hinges on disclosure and feedback.
     Let's talk about the importance of disclosure and feedback in a quality interpersonal relationship.
First of all let me give credit where credit is do.  My ideas of disclosure and feedback come from the self-
disclosure model developed by Joseph Luft and Harrington Ingham.  The model has become know and
Johari's window.  The premise of the model is that the more we disclose about ourselves and get feedback
the more we learn about ourselves and the more others learn about us.  I believe there i...
