Partisipan mengkomunikasikan penghargaan yang diinginkan dengan berterus terang dan ada pula yang menggunakan tindak tutur (speech act) ilokusioner, sedangkan pengorbanan dikomunikasikan dengan 1) saling mengatakan secara terus terang, 2) saling memendam dan mendiamkan pasangan hingga pasangannya menyadari hal itu dan bertanya penyebabnya, atau 3) mencoba meredamnya sendiri terlebih dahulu baru mengatakannya bila diperlukan.
