 For instance, the confidence that people within a connected network will exchange support during or after a distressing situation promotes a sense of dependence which may improve the quality of a relationship.Lyons and colleagues argued the actualization of relationship development and maintenance regarding relational trust or improving relationship quality emerge out of a sense of compassion (empathy-driven) or obligation (responsibility – driven) towards the wellbeing of others in the relationship.Although empathy-driven and obligation – driven motives are distinct based on the type of relational tie, in most cases the end goal is for the collective good.
