What is negative identity management? Provide an example
What will be an ideal response?
Negative identity management is communicating in ways that arouse negative emotions in order to make the other person upset enough to agree to break off the relationship. For example, Ellen didn't want to date Craig any more, but she didn't want to tell him. So instead, used negative identity management by doing things she knew Craig found distasteful, like smoking and blowing the smoke in his face and making him wait for half an hour before showing up to meet him, in order to make the Craig upset enough to break off the relationship.
