Constructivism Constructivism posits that each individual determines his or her reality and subsequently frames his or her social (and thus communicative) actions based on cognitive schemes. Whether these schemes are highly developed or rather simplistic is determined by how cognitively complex an individual is in a particular area. Cognitive complexity relates to the number, interrelationships, complexity, and variety of the schemes used when constructing messages. Cognitive complexity is an information-processing variable that indicates an individual's increased capacity to process information about personal relationships in a more highly adaptive way.
Needless to say, persistently deviant interpretations will be regarded as problematic and effort is likely to be expended in smoothing discrepancies. (p. 197) These discrepancies can be seen as relational conflicts about behaviors, attitudes, and appropriate performance of romantic roles. If the smoothing does not resolve the discrepancies, the relationship may dissolve. More importantly, the smoothing strategies go into memory and act as a repository of information that may be opened for subsequent relationships.
Relational expectations reflect people's past experiences in relationships. Cognitive researchers refer to expectations as knowledge structures. Various types of knowledge structures are discussed in chapter 2. For example, if an individual has experienced a lot of deception in prior relationships, then he or she could have a relationshipdeception schema consisting of expectations that in intimate relationships, vows are often broken. He or she may believe that his or her partner's words may not be taken at face value and that caution is wise before venturing far into self-disclosure.
