Final answer:
According to Kelley (1998), people harmed by others are more willing to renegotiate a relationship if certain conditions are met, but punishment or payment for the violation is not one of them.
Step-by-step explanation:
Kelley (1998) suggested that people harmed by others are more willing to renegotiate a relationship when they know all of the following, except for:
- A) There is essential agreement as to the nature of the violation
- B) The other person acknowledges the hurt and pain his/her violation caused you
- C) The offending person will make an apology for the hurt and pain caused by the violation
- D) The offending person will be punished or pay appropriately for the violation
The correct answer is D) the offending person will be punished or pay appropriately for the violation. According to Kelley, when someone has been harmed by another person, they are more likely to be willing to renegotiate the relationship if there is agreement about the nature of the violation, acknowledgment of the hurt caused, and an apology from the offender.
However, the idea of the offender being punished or paying for the violation was not mentioned as a factor affecting the willingness to renegotiate.
