Evaluation: The Model of Breakdown
  1. Positive
    1. The model offers some implications for intervening in a relationship breakdown and ideally 'fixing' it instead. The model stresses the importance of communication in relationship breakdown. Pay attention to the things that people say, the topics that they discuss and the ways in whicxh they talk about their relationship offer both an insight into their stage and also suggests appropriate interventions for that stage.
      1. THIS IS SUPPORTED BY CINA ET AL'S 2003 STUDY
      2. When partners' relationship skills are enhanced their relationships are of better quality. Cina et al 2003, compared 50 couples who received Couples Coping Enhancement Training, CCET, with a control group. The CCET group reported much higher marital quality after training compared to the control group.
        1. SUPPORTS ROLLIE AND DUCK
        2. Extralmarital affair4s can be seen as being caused by a lack of skills or stimulation. Boekhout et al, 1999, asked undergraduate students to rate sexual and emotional reasons for unfaithfulness. Participants judged sexual reasons or infidelity, e.g. sexual excitement, boredom, variety, would be more likely used by men. They thought women would be more likely to blame emotional reasons, e.g. lack of attention, commitment and emotional satisfaction.
          1. IDA POINT: UNDERGRADS WERE USED, SIMILAR AGE GROUP >>> LACK OF GENERALISABILITY >>> LOW POP VALIDITY
          2. Tashiro and Frazier, 2003:Surveyed undergrad students who recently broke up with their romantic partners. They reported feeling distress in their relationship and personal growth from the break-up, that gave them new insights for the future. Through grave-dressing and resurrection processes they were able to have closure from the relationship and move on.
            1. IDA POINT: THIS APPLIES TO REAL LIFE.
              1. SUPPORTS ROLLIE AND DUCK
            2. Negative
              1. Reasons for breakdown offered do not separate male and female differential viewpoints. Brehm and Kassin, 1996, found that women are more likely to stress unhappiness and incompatibility as reasons for dissolution, whereas men are particularly upset by sexual withholding.
                1. DISPROVES DUCK'S THEORY
                2. Long distance relationshiips LDRR and long distance friendships, LDF, are actually quite common. Rohlfing 1995 found that 70% of students had experienced one LDRR and 90% LDF.
                  1. DOESN'T SAY IF IT WORKED THO
                    1. tHIS IS A SOCIALLY SENSITIVE AREA OF RESEARCH, DELVING INTO PRIVATE MATTERS. PARTICIPANTS MAY EXPERIENCE DISTRESS IN RELIVING RELATIONSHIP BREAKDOWN.
                      1. IDA POINT: PROTECTION FROM HARM
                        1. DISPROVES RD+D
                        2. The theory is relevant to individualist culture but not collectivist cultures, e.g. in cases of arranged marriage.
                          1. DISPROVES RD AND D.
