- Title
Relational Maintenance as Including the Other in the Self.

- Abstract
This manuscript advances 'inclusion of the other in the self' as an alternative theoretical framework for understanding relational maintenance behavior. Using a qualitative data analytic strategy akin to early equity-theoretic relational maintenance research, this manuscript proposes a typology that conceptualizes maintenance behaviors as facilitating shared resources, identities, and perspectives. This approach complements both the equity theory perspective and related lines of interpersonal communication research.
