Agreement

The document discusses factors that are important for maintaining balance and harmony in interpersonal relationships. There are four main factors: 1) familiarity, or fulfilling the need for love and agreement on intimacy levels; 2) control, or agreement on who controls decisions; 3) appropriate responses both verbally and nonverbally; and 4) maintaining a harmonious emotional atmosphere during interactions. Conflicts can arise if these factors are not balanced, such as when responses are inappropriate for the conversation or emotional tones do not match. Interpersonal relationships are also dependent on context and can be limited to certain shared experiences rather than developing greater familiarity over time.

The nature of interpersonal relationships is that when communicating, we not only deliver the message content, but also

determine the levels of interpersonal relationships. So, we not only determine the content but also the relationship. This view is new and to show the relationship communicant message is referred to as metakomunikasi. In this case means that the study of interpersonal communication shifts from the content of a message to the relational aspect. Relational aspect which is the unit of analysis of interpersonal communication. In terms of communication psychology, we can state that more and better interpersonal relationships, the more open people to express themselves, the more accurate perception so that more effective communication took place. Interpersonal relationships are formed when processing messages (both verbal and nonverbal) are reciprocal to happen and it's called interpersonal communication. When interpersonal interpersonal relationships grow, there is also agreement on the rules of communication between the participants involved. Interpersonal relationships are not static, but constantly changing. To maintain and strengthen interpersonal relationships, it takes certain actions to restore the balance. There are four important factors in maintaining this balance, namely: a) familiarity; b) control; c) the appropriate response, and d) the right emotional tone. Familiarity is the fulfillment of the need for love. Interpersonal relationships will terperlihara if both parties agree on the necessary level of familiarity. The second factor is an agreement about who will control whom and when. If two people have different opinions before drawing a conclusion, who should talk more, who decides, and who is dominant. Conflict occurs generally when each wants to power, or neither side willing to budge. The third factor is the accuracy of the response. Where, A response must be followed by an appropriate response from B. In a conversation for example, the question should be greeted with the answer, joke with a laugh, inquiries with an explanation. These responses not only with regard to verbal messages, but also nonverbal messages. If the talks are serious answered playfully, facial expressions accepted with

earnest mien which indicates the attitude of disbelief, then the interpersonal relationships developing cracks. This means we have to respond inappropriately.

The last factor that can maintain harmonious interpersonal relationships is an emotional atmosphere when the communication is in progress. While it may be an interaction between two people with different emotional atmosphere, but the interaction is not going to be stable. Most likely one of the parties will terminate the interaction or change the atmosphere of emotion. Common problems and inequalities are often highlighted in interpersonal communication, so that the research conducted frequent emphasis on analysis of the relationship between the communicating parties. Not all relationships in interpersonal communication should be directed to become familiar and rational decisions can be made. Perspective of the research results Delia (1980) as quoted Stewart and Sylvia (1991: 202-203) showed that:

1. Form a relationship is often not as something necessary for the good of the relationship. The relationship arises not because of the desire relations but rather is caused by something that grows in the work or activities shared, for example, you are required to do sebagain of the activities of a project.

2. Demands of the situation is often set conjecture and perception, forming expectations about a relationship and shape the way disclosure, for example you are interested in a shoe for then you have hope to buy it and explain how you bargain the price that you bought cheaper.

3. Many long lasting relationships are limited by a particular context or a range of contexts and does not result in increased familiarity, for example, two partners have a good relationship but never communicate interpersonally outside working hours.

4. Although the degree of satisfaction obtained (you) from the relationship and how

that relationship will evolve based on implicit judgments about someone (else), the assessment of change to follow the context and nature of that relationship. That is, some quality and assessment is essential in a relationship, but some properties and other penialaian very different is important also for other types of relationships.
