| Describe Duck's first stage | Intrapsychic - partner starts to feel dissatisfied with relationship internally. |
| Tashiro and Frazier | After breakdown there is potential for emotional growth. Supports grave-dressing and resurrection |
| Akert | Person who initiated process suffers less than their partner. Neither Lee nor Duck explain how the experience of breaking up is individual |
| Give two advantages of Duck's model | Practical applications in counselling. Model is plausible as it reflects many people's experiences of relationship dissolution |
| Kassin | Gender bias. Men blame lack of sex whilst women blame unhappiness or incompatibility. Women wish to remain friends whilst men want a clean break |
| Give two disadvantages of Duck and Lee's models | Nature vs. nuture - does not consider biological elements of people's reactions. Cultural bias. All research done into one culture so may not apply to collectivist cultures. |
| What are the stages of relationship break down according to Lee? | Dissatisfaction, Exposure, Negotiation, Resolution, Termination |
| Describe Lee's first stage | Dissatisfaction |
| Describe Lee's third stage | Negotiation - couple discuss problems and may get back together |
| Describe Lee's fifth stage | Termination |
| Describe Lee's second stage | Exposure - dissatisfaction is revealed to partner |
| Describe Lee's fourth stage | Resolution - attempts are made to save relationship |
| Give two advantages of Lee's model | Sample size: 112 pre-marital relationships studied. More positive - there are more opportunities for reconciliation |
| Give a disadvantage of Lee's model | Only non-marital relationships studied - if married, with long-term commitment, the partners may have reacted differently. |
| Argyle and Henderson | Break ups are caused by rule violations, e.g. cheating, public criticism, lack of tolerance for other relationships |
