A good interpersonal relationship makes each member feel like they are included. You have to feel included to have a sense of belonging and to feel like you play a vital role in the friendship. The second aspect of a good interpersonal relationship is control. Each member must feel in control at least some of the time. When control is not shared among members of the interpersonal group, we found through the movie Mean Girls that members want to “rebel” the leader and ultimately take control for themselves. The last important component for a good interpersonal relationship is affection. Each member of the relationship needs to feel loved and appreciated by the other members. When they do not feel loved or cared for they feel as if they are not needed and therefore do not feel the need to reciprocate affection for other members of the group. The movie Mean Girls shows us that without even one of these aspects of a good interpersonal relationship, conflict can occur that can cause the destruction of the friendly dynamic and even the entire relationship. Therefore, we have learned that it is important to communicate effectively, include others, show love and affection, and share control with every member of our interpersonal relationship.
