social penetration theory  

Définition

  • What happens as individuals move through the different stages of a personal relationship—from being strangers, to acquaintances, to close friends, or, perhaps, to romantic partners? Social penetration theory, developed by Irwin Altman and Dalmas Taylor in 1973, provides a theoretical framework for understanding the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors of two people as they establish a close relationship. This entry summarizes the behavioral and subjective processes that occur in the development of a close relationship according to social penetration theory.
