Most of my problems were on the self-quiz. After much research of the feedback, I have a clear understanding of my mistakes and how to perform the correct computations.

Knowledge, integrity, empathy, patience, and love are at the core of my ethos. These traits shape my character, nature,

Participants are instructed to answer questions with their current partner in mind. If the respondent does not currently have a partner, he or she should answer with the most recent partner in mind (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986). Each item asks respondents to reply to questions on a five-point Likert-type response scale indicating level of agreement. Below is a sample item from the scale.

3. Did they help with any practice problems questions you asked? If no please explain.

They also rated several different qualities of a mate ranking them from less to most important.

Self-expansion size. In the type of self-expansion section, participants were asked to reflect upon how pleasant, exciting, new, and physical the activities they participated in with their roommate were, and then for measurement, were asked to rank each of them on a scale five point scale (1=not at all, 5=very much). In the self-expansion portion below the “type of expansion” section, participants were asked 3 questions about how their roommate has helped to expand themselves. More specifically, an example question from the survey is, have you learned something new from your roommate or become a better person because of them? The participant ranked each of these on a five point scale (1=not at all, 5=very much), five being the highest self-expansion

How well do you know the people in your life? And how well do they know you? Placing people in your life into categories like “acquaintance”, “casual friend”, and “significant other” easily sets an expectation for what kind of relationship you have and how well you know one another. It’s easy to say an acquaintance knows you hardly at all. Or your casual friend knows a bit, but not a lot. And obviously your significant other knows more than either the acquaintance or the casual friend. But if you were to question the people in your life, would your knowledge of them and their knowledge of you fit the relationship label given to them? After analyzing questionnaires from three different people in my own life, I looked to explain the relationships

and how people decide how much attention to pay to who (Gergen 2002). ‘Relationship’ is a nominal variable and because of this, I could only look at the mode, or most common relationships (doesn’t make sense to look at mean or median). I found that the majority of my interactions in descending order were with friends (14 out of the 43 total interactions or 32.5%), professors, tutors and UofT administration grouped into ‘school’ (7 out of the 43 total interactions or 16.2%) and people that I had either not met before or weren’t in my personal network but I interacted with (6 out of 43 interactions or 13.9%). Further, there was an equal frequency of interactions between myself and co-workers and my boyfriend (Jay) which accounted for 5 out of 43 interactions or 11.6% each, respectively, while roommates and family I also had an equal amount of interactions with (3 interactions each out of 43 or
