Abstract

Communication plays a crucial role in maintaining harmonious romantic relationships, especially among Gen Z, who have diverse communication styles and live in the digital age. Although awareness of the importance of open communication is quite high, there remains a gap between understanding and practice. This study aims to describe forms of communication accommodation in Gen Z romantic relationships through convergence, divergence, and overaccommodation strategies. The results indicate that communication strategies are dynamic, with convergence appearing predominantly as a form of expression of affection and an effort to strengthen emotional closeness, divergence being used to maintain authenticity, and overaccommodation being significant in two couples exhibiting communication imbalance. Communication accommodation in Gen Z relationships is complex and is influenced by personal characteristics, emotional dynamics, and role perceptions within the relationship. Interviews with three Gen Z couples found that women tended to be more active in making communication adjustments than men. This pattern was consistent across the three couples studied, both explicitly through verbal statements in the interviews and implicitly through communication behavior directly observed by the researchers.
