We encounter jealousy and envy, aggression, hurt, abuse, lying, teasing and bullying, infidelity, uncertainty and secrecy, and criticisms and complaints in a variety of relationship contexts. We’ll examine these topics as well as theories of the dark side for what we know about the ways they damage relationships, what we can do to avoid (or overcome) them, and what studying dark side of communication means for employers. |
