Introduction
Interpersonal relationship can be defined as a strong bond between two or more
individuals. When individuals get attracted towards each other, they get closer and eventually
form a strong interpersonal relationship. Social setting in individual’s life involves interactions
within society that also creates interpersonal relationships. In order to make these interactions
positive and useful, people seek gaining enhanced communicational skills to build effective
relationship. This happens when people feel good about their surroundings and in oneself in a
non-egocentric manner. Psychologists like Fritz Heider focused on behavior in interpersonal

maintain enhanced relationships and healthy behavioural practice.

prepared to make further research on the topic while elaborating interpersonal relationship skills
and everyday behavior concept in brief. Since both the factors have been confirmed to be inter-

will be perceived to find out interpersonal relationship significance in everyday behavior of
individuals.
The objectives behind preparing this research proposal are
 Find out relation between interpersonal relationship, individual behavior and
interactions.
 To apply interpersonal relationship theory in decision making process of
individual and how it affects individual’s behavior in everyday life.
 Discover opportunities through which individual behavior can get enhanced
through interpersonal relationships.

definition of the word ‘interpersonal’. In literature, interpersonal communication that takes place
between people may or may not be personal, however, exchange of ideas and communication is
shared among different people. Social Exchange Theory of George Casper Homans states ‘give
