presents and handles him/herself well socially Explanation: This example from the web seems to explain the term fairly well, albeit negatively. On a help forum, this person writes in asking for advice since she has a father who she is embarrassed to introduce to her boyfriend: "Mon père est qql de très distant qui est dans son monde. Il est à moitié sourd et ça ne l'a pas arrangé. Avec les années il s'est complètement renfermé sur lui même, il est absent... et impossible de l'approcher pour avoir une conversation autre que superficielle (la pluie, le beau temps..). Il ne manifeste aucun sentiment et en est incapable. Avec ma mère, c une union sans amour, froide et indifférente mais ils sont tjs ensemble... [...] c un homme rustre, un peu grossier surtout à table... il mange comme un porc, mastique comme une vache, fait bcp de bruit en mangeant... " The father nevertheless "n'est pas méchant et me montre son amour "financièrement"...C sa façon à lui de me dire qu'il m'aime, je suis fille unique et il ma gâte en approvisionnant mes comptes de façon régulière...." The reply suggests that "d'autres qui sauraient montrer davantage de **surface relationnelle**, en feraient peut-être cent fois moins pour toi que lui" In other words, others who may be more 'presentable' socially might be less giving people really... (From: http://forum.doctissimo.fr/psychologie/parents-vieillesse/tr... The example fits in with other contexts of "surface relationnelle" on the web: it seems to be a bit of a portmanteau word, meaning a combination of how you 'present' in society and the quality and quantity of your social interaction - "the face you present to the world". -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-09-01 01:02:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Nb. I'm guessing that it's the "surface relationnelle" term that's most tricky - "maitrise relationnelle" = ease in handling social situations |

interpersonal control and accessibility Explanation: Hello, This is a little tricky, isn't it? I think that "relationnelle" is referring to that which is "interpersonal" (social psychology) maîtrise = control (pretty sure about that) The big question is knowing what "surface" means here. I think it means that what is "accessible" in someone. If I "développer ma surface relationnelle", I'm making myself more accessible to others (A person is "accessed" by others through someone's "surface"). I hope this helps. |
