“…Later research has varied in its conceptualization of taboo topics. Some research defines taboo topics as an explicit agreement between relationship parties to avoid certain subjects (e.g., Roloff & Ifert Johnson, 2001), whereas other research considers implicit agreements (e.g., Dunleavy & Dougherty, 2013). Furthermore, some scholarship considers the "taboo" nature of topics as resulting from socially or culturally derived rules for interaction and focuses less on the dynamics of a particular relationship (e.g., High & Crowley, 2016).…”

“…An example of visible information control includes the research that conceptualizes "taboo topics" as an explicit agreement between relationship parties to avoid a certain subject. In Dunleavy and Dougherty's (2013) work on marital repair strategies, findings indicated that senders of a hurtful message may avoid a subject (e.g., the other's appearance) in an attempt to move past a hurtful episode, but the target was aware of the attempts to avoid this information.…”

Research on information control in interpersonal contexts has grown in the last 30 years. Scholars have considered multiple manifestations of information control, including taboo topics, topic avoidance, privacy, and secrecy, as ways individuals withhold information. This paper reviews and presents limitations of the extant literature, including conflating different manifestations, privileging explicit acts, and presuming agency. The paper then addresses these limitations by proposing a new framework that articulates a process and typology of information control in relationships. The typology departs from existing research to categorize information control based on the perspectives of the sender and receiver. In so doing, the framework organizes several strands of research to offer a comprehensive approach to the study of information control in interpersonal contexts.

This case study of Dr. Esther Perel's How's Work? podcast focuses on couples who work together. Two primary types of relationships shape the study: those in business together who are blood related and those who are married or partnered. In this work, taboo is constituted as uncomfortable topics that remain undiscussed. Prior to therapy, Perel's dyads did not openly speak about their issues with one another. What they did do, however, was mentally roll over the issues on their own. Even though both parties deeply considered the taboo issue(s), they did not directly address taboo topic(s) with their partner until they had the opportunity to do so with Perel. To that end, this work is an extension of Roloff and Johnson's research on taboo topics that are left undiscussed until they are carefully addressed in a planned interaction. This chapter contributes to knowledge around taboo topics relevant to family business and how different types of families have differing taboos.
