WHEN AND WHY I CREATED IT: 

I CREATED THIS WORK BOTH INDEPENDENTLY AND COLLABORATIVELY WITH ANOTHER STUDENT DURING THE SPRING 2023 SEMESTER.  IN COLLABORATION WITH MY PARTNER, WE SELECTED AFFECTION EXCHANGE THEORY BECAUSE IT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING THEORY TO THE BOTH OF US AND THE PRESENTATION DATE ALIGNED WITH BOTH OF OUR SCHEDULES.  AFTER SELECTING THE THEORY, WE EACH SELECTED A RESEARCH ARTICLE THAT RELATED TO AFFECTION EXCHANGE THEORY AND COMPLETED AN ARTICLE EVALUATION WORKSHEET.  COMING TOGETHER, WE CREATED THE PRESENTATION AND SELECTED THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES AS OUR APPLIED EXAMPLE.  AFTER THE PRESENTATION, WE EACH COMPLETED A REFLECTION THAT DESCRIBED HOW EVERYTHING WENT.
