This article outlines and updates a formal, hierarchical theory of relational competence about socialization in intimate relationships, comprising: (1) three requirements: verifiability, applicability, and redundancy; (2) three meta-theoretical assumptions about the Width and Depth of relationships in Settings where relational competence is socialized; (3) three theoretical assumptions about abilities to love and to control through Presence Performance, and Production; (4) five models which include identity differentiation, styles, interactions, selfhood, and priorities; and (5) four applied models derived from meta-theoretical and theoretical assumptions: distance regulation, pathogenic roles, intimacy, and negotiation. Empirical verification of these models has occurred through self-report paper-and-pencil instruments in the laboratory, through enrichment programs in primary prevention, targeted written practice exercises in secondary prevention, and prescribed tasks in tertiary prevention or psychotherapy.
