COUPLE INTERVIEW

You are asked to interview a couple who has been married or cohabitating for at least five continuous years and write a paper which summarizes both the interview content and your personal observations and thoughts about the relationship. The interview must be conducted with both parties present at the same time and the interview must be a minimum of 45 minutes long.

Use the following outline to structure your interview and paper:

I. Introduction: Introduce your topic (marriage and family life) and include information about the couple. Be sure to use a fictitious name to protect the confidentiality of the couple. Include information about the couple such as; race, religion, ethnicity, ages, years together as a couple, number and ages of children (if any), how long have you known them, why did you select them, is this a same-sex couple, inter-faith, inter-racial, etc.

II. Body: Address the following issues at a minimum:

A. The history of the relationship – how did they meet, what was the initial attraction, what made them decide to commit to a long-term relationship, etc.?

B. How do they structure their family – traditional vs. non-traditional roles, occupational and child care concerns, etc.? Be sure to refer to your textbook for appropriate terms and definitions.

C. How do they communicate? Pay attention to their statements and body language, as well as your personal observations and experiences. How do they make family decisions?

D. What have been the most challenging times in their relationship? How have they worked through those issues?

III. Analysis:  Address the following items, at a minimum:

A. Do you consider this to be a successful relationship? Why or why not?

B. What “type” of marriage or relationship would you categorize this relationship to be? Explain your answer.

C. What qualities of this relationship would you like to have in your own relationship? How would you create these qualities in your relationship? What type of efforts would you be willing to make to retain those qualities in your relationship?

D. What qualities would you want to avoid? How would you avoid them? What preventative measure would you take in your relationships?

E. What have you learned about committed relationships from your interview with this couple? How will you apply this information to your personal life?

Point

Not everything we secretly want we admit to wanting. Money is one example. One psychologist found that few people would admit to wanting money, but they thought everyone else wanted it. They were half right - everyone wants money. And everyone wants power.

Harvard psychologist David McClelland was justifiably famous for his study of underlying motives. McClelland would measure people's motivation for power from his analysis of how people described pictures (called the Thematic Apperception Test, or TAT). Why didn't he simply ask people how much they wanted power? Because he believed that many more people really wanted power than would admit, or even consciously realize. And that is exactly what he found.

Why do we want power? Because it is good for us. It gives us more control over our own lives. It gives us more freedom to do as we wish. There are few things worse in life than feeling helpless, and few better than feeling in charge of your destiny.

Take Steve Cohen, founder of SAC Capital Advisors and the most powerful man on Wall Street. He buys Picassos, he lives in a mansion, he has white-gloved butlers, he travels the world first class. People will do almost anything to please him, or to even get near him. One writer notes, "Inside his offices, vast fortunes are won and lost. Careers are made and unmade. Type A egos are inflated and crushed, sometimes in the space of hours." All of this is bad for Steve Cohen, how?

Research shows that people with power and status command more respect from others, have higher self-esteem (no surprise there), and enjoy better health than those of less stature.

Usually, people who tell you power doesn't matter are those who have no hope of getting it. Being jealous, like wanting power, is one of those people just won't admit to.

Counterpoint

Of course it is true that some people desire power, and often behave ruthlessly to get it. For most of us, however, power is not high on our list of priorities, and for some people, power is actually undesirable.

Research shows that most individuals feel uncomfortable when placed in powerful positions. One study asked individuals, before they began work in a four-person team, to "rank, from 1 (highest) to 4 (lowest), in terms of status and influence within the group, would you like to achieve." You know what? Only about one-third (34 percent) of participants chose the highest rank. In a second study, researchers studied employees participating in Amazon's Mechanical Turk online service. They found, when employees were asked about their reasons for belonging to the three groups (which would be a workplace, a volunteer group, a congregation, etc.) that were most important in their life, that the main reason people want power is to earn respect. If they can get respect without gaining power, that is what most preferred. In a third study, the authors found that individuals preferred power only when they had high ability - in other words, where their influence helped their groups.

This interesting research suggests that we often confuse the desire for power with other things—like the desire to be respected and to help our groups and organizations succeed. In these cases, power is something most of us seek for more benevolent ends—and only in cases when we think the power does good.

Another study found that the majority of people want respect from their peers, not power. Cameron Anderson, the author of this research, sums it up nicely: "You don't have to be rich to be happy, but instead be a valuable contributing member to your groups," he comments. "What makes a person high in status in a group is being engaged, generous with others, and making self-sacrifices for the greater good."

Oh, and about Stevie Cohen...you realize that he is being investigated by the SEC? The SEC investigator: Preet Bharara, the same one who got Rajat Gupta.
