Week 1 Topic:
“FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APPOCALYPSE”
Gottman (1999) identifies the “four horsemen of the apocalypse” (Hocker and Wilmot, pages 22-28). When these behaviors are present in a relationship, the end is near.
Discuss how you have seen these used in relationships.
How have you felt when these were used on you?
Which of these behaviors do you use, with whom do you use these and in what circumstances?
Can you think of ways that you could communicate more honestly and constructively?
In your responses to other students you will want to be sure to share research, speak for yourself and share your own experiences. Do not use any of these horsemen in your discussions!
