Friendship Analysis

A Friendship Diagram.
Rational Analysis of a Friendship
A Friendship Analysis can be done by diagramming what takes place in a friendship using a flow chart. A Friendship Analysis flow chart first divides friendships into positive or negative influences. The rest of a Friendship Analysis can be explained in terms of the game of friendship. In this game an individual can be classified as either dominant or submissive in the relationship. Each friend has a role to play. Once the roll is determined a plot can be determined for each friend. Once a plot is determined a transaction takes place. .Transactional analysis can be used to study what goes on during this stage of the friendship.^ Twenty-six studies were used in the final meta-analysis.

 that good friendships actually improve health.
.There are a number of theories that attempt to explain the link, including that: 1) Good friends encourage their friends to lead more healthy lifestyles; 2) Good friends encourage their friends to seek help and access services, when needed; 3) Good friend enhance their friend’s coping skills in dealing with illness and other health problems; and/or 4) Good friends actually affect physiological pathways that are protective of health[19].^ Common Interpersonal Problems and Needed Skills As part of an online self-help book, this material discusses many of the problems associated with making and keeping friends, including fear (risk) of approaching someone, fear (risk) of rejection, hints for becoming a good conversationalist, and the importance (benefits) of self-disclosure.

 ^ A strength of the study is that the study looked at a larger population of victims, not only those seeking services for help.

Love

.Love is closely related to friendship in that it involves strong interpersonal ties between two or more people.^ Interpersonal relationships can be defined as the connection between two people, communicative and physical (which includes touch and body language).

In terms of interpersonal relationships, there are two distinct types of love:
.
  1. Platonic love: is a deep and non-romantic connection or friendship between two individuals.^ Contrary to the expectations of the researchers, no connections were found between psychopathology and the age of onset, the difference in age between the victim and the perpetrator and the relationship between the two.

     It is love where the sexual element does not enter.
  2. Romance (love): considered similar to Platonic love, but involves sexual elements.

Non-personal friendships

.Although the term initially described relations between individuals, it is at times used for political purposes to describe relations between states or peoples ("the Franco-German friendship", for example), indicating in this case an affinity or mutuality of purpose between the two nations.^ The review also states that there is no post child abuse syndrome, which would contain a harmful sequelae showing differences between individuals.

Regarding this aspect of international relations, Lord Palmerston said:
“ Therefore I say that it is a narrow policy to suppose that this country or that is to be marked out as the eternal ally or the perpetual enemy of England. We have no eternal allies, and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow.[20] ”
This is often paraphrased as: "Nations have no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. Only permanent interests."
.The word "friendship" can be used in political speeches as an emotive modifier.^ The Abridged Series , where Tea uses a several-hour-long friendship speech to turn Johny Steps into a zombie.

Friendship may refer to:

Simple English

Friendship is having a good relationship with someone, called a friend. People in a friendship have respect and affection for each other. A friendship is different from a romantic relationship; friends do not necessarily love each other romantically.

Friends spend time together to talk or do activities they both enjoy. Friends can help each other by giving advice. Sometimes people tell their secrets to their friends. Usually friends have similar interests. For example, they might both like skateboarding or playing a musical instrument. Often, friends tease each other, but this is meant playfully.
