Triadic relationships

Triadic relationships involve three parties interconnected, where the dynamics among all three influence each other. Unlike simple pairwise relationships, triads can create complex interactions, alliances, or tensions that aren't visible in two-player setups. For example, in a friendship trio, the relationship between two friends may be affected by the third friend’s presence or actions. These relationships are common in social, organizational, or diplomatic contexts, highlighting how adding a third element can change the balance and behavior within a group. Understanding triadic relationships helps in analyzing group behavior and predicting potential outcomes based on how the three parties interact.
