OPTION 2: Chapter 10: “The Apology: Helps? Hurts? Hinders? Repairs? ”
Apologies are often used, but sometimes not effective.
What were the components of an apology you’ve received that you felt repaired the relationship?
What were the components of an apology that did the opposite?
Watch this video: Jahan Kalantar’s TED Talk A Perfect Apology in Three Steps.
After watching the video, answer each of the following questions:
Come up with a scenario that a couple/friends may face. This can fit one of Knapp’s stages such as circumscribing (“You keep spending money without consulting me!”) or one of the dialectical tensions (“I feel like I need some time to go out with my friends”). [Do not use either of these examples as your scenario]
From the vantage point of the party in the wrong, write an apology that follows Kalantar’s three steps.
