Question

scenario: morgan and riley have been friends for years. though they have different personalities (morgan is outgoing while riley is reserved), they work well together. morgan handles social planning and public speaking for their school projects, while riley excels at research and writing. their friendship has remained strong despite their differences. which relationship concept does this scenario best illustrate? exchange theory disclosure reciprocity similarity thesis complementary differences

Explanation:

• Exchange theory focuses on costs/benefits in relationships, not differences working together.
• Disclosure reciprocity is about sharing personal info mutually, not relevant here.
• Similarity thesis emphasizes shared traits, but the scenario is about differences.
• Complementary differences mean partners’ differing strengths/qualities complement each other, which matches Morgan (social/public speaking) and Riley (research/writing) working well despite personality/work - style differences.

Answer:

D. Complementary differences
