ABSTRACT

The relationship in dormitories has a significant influence on the formation of college students' worldviews, life perspectives, values, the cultivation of good behavior habits, and their mental health levels. Establishing good interpersonal relationships in dormitories has always been an important issue for college students. Motivational communication theory emphasizes the conscious recognition of differences and contradictions between individuals on the basis of accepting individual differences, transforming these differences and contradictions, promoting all parties in communication to gradually gain a sense of security, belonging, value, and self-realization, and then establishing harmonious interpersonal relationships. The theory proposes theories and techniques related to interpersonal communication, including the diamond theory, five communication techniques, and six handles for specific use of "awareness and presentation". Practice has shown that motivational communication theory can promote the establishment of good interpersonal relationships in college dormitories.
