IntroductionBy developing my ability to analyze conflicts from different theoretical perspectives, I learned through different theories how to put into practice different steps to manage my reactions to to these. What I hope to accomplish in my article is a general and comprehensive analysis of my experience with interpersonal theories and relational theories. I also want to explain how when conflicts arise, the steps to follow for what people should do when making choices when communicating in conflict situations. The reason conflict is worth examining and experiencing is because it shows us how we can develop better communication on the basis of our mistakes; and what we can learn from it. By learning from our mistakes, we can expect to gain more knowledge about how to learn different behaviors to manage conflict. Description of ConflictNow in explaining my conflict, it involves someone who is very important to me in my life. The person I'm talking about is my girlfriend Maria. Maria and I have been together for two and a half years and things seem to be going pretty well. We both enjoy each other's company and when we spend time together it usually involves having fun. There is never a dull moment when we are together and we both strive and work to succeed. When it comes to school or work, we always support each other in every positive way possible. Now, in explaining who has the power, I would say that we both hold some sort of power when we decide different things in our relationship. In my opinion, there is no one person who holds all the power indefinitely. In many situations, she had many occasions where she felt heavily involved in an engagement in which I withdrew and provided support. I... middle of paper... something I thought I did to upset her, didn't. And that was something that I had let my mind think that she was going to be. When you study the complexity of a person's behavior, you can truly understand how things can be so easily resolved through simple communication. The way I can benefit from these two theories is to consider what they both mean. For social exchange, I can understand that social behavior is the result of an exchange process by maximizing benefits and minimizing costs, and for uncertainty, I learned that people need to reduce uncertainty about others in obtaining information about the issue at hand.
