How interpersonal motives clarify the meaning of interpersonal
behavior: A revised circumplex model
Personality and Social Psychology Review, 2006, 10, 67-86.
Слайд 15Short history
interpersonal theories and interpersonal models (Kiesler, 1983; Leary, 1957;
Sullivan 1953)
“theorem of reciprocal emotion” – reciprocity (or complementarity) in
human interaction (Sullivan, 1953)
the principle of complementarity – “A person’s interpersonal actions tend (with a probability significantly greater than chance) to initiate, invite, or evoke from a interactant complementary responses” (Kiesler, 1983, pp.200-201)
Слайд 16Interpersonal models
affiliation
friendly behavior
hostile behavior
submissive behavior
dominating behavior
dominance
Слайд 17Problems
the principle does not work for behaviors on the hostile
side of the interpersonal space
friendly behavior has a relatively
high base rate, even when initiating behavior is hostile
revisions of the model
Слайд 18Revised Circumplex Model. Basic postulates (27)
Interpersonal motives may be organized
hierarchically
The first expressions of communal and agentic motivation appear early
in infancy
Generally speaking, interpersonal behaviors are motivated
A particular behavior may stem from a variety of motives, which lend meaning to that behavior
Coexisting motives may be behaviorally compatible, or they may conflict
When the motive or motives behind an interpersonal behavior are unknown or unclear, the behavior is ambiguous
Ambiguous behavior leads to a miscommuntication between interacting partners
Слайд 19Revised Circumplex Model
communion
friendly behavior
indifferent behavior
submissive behavior
dominating behavior
agency
Слайд 20Revised Circumplex Model
In cooperative interactions complementarity was confirmed
When the initiated
behavior was not communal the principle of complementarity was disconfirmed
(Orford, 1986)
When the initiated behavior was friendly, the participant’s behavior was most often complementary, and when it was not friendly, the participant’s behavior was often not complementary (Strong et al., 1988)
When a reaction was uncomplimentary it frustrated the person’s interpersonal goal and when this goal was important, it led to negative affect (Shechtman, 2002)
Слайд 21Conclusions
The negative pole of communion is taken to be indifference,
not hostility
A given behavior invites (rather than evokes) a particular
reaction, which the partner may choose not to satisfy
The complement of a behavior is the reaction that would satisfy the motive behind it
Noncomplementary reactions induce negative affect
