  • Naturalistic Interpersonal Behavior patterns differentiate depression and anxiety symptoms in the community.
    Journal of counseling psychology, 2014
    Co-Authors: Lance M. Rappaport, Debbie S. Moskowitz, Bianca D’antono
    Abstract:

    Symptoms of depression and anxiety are associated with Interpersonal problems that, in turn, exacerbate and maintain these symptoms. The purpose of the present study was to identify patterns of Interpersonal Behavior characteristic of each syndrome, particularly whether intraindividual variability in Interpersonal Behavior differentiates between anxiety and depression symptoms. After reporting on depression and anxiety symptoms, community participants recorded their Behavior following Interpersonal interactions over 21 days. Participants' Interpersonal Behavior at each event was measured using Behavior dimensions from the Interpersonal circumplex: dominant, submissive, agreeable, and quarrelsome. Mean levels of Behavior and intraindividual variability were computed over events and then regressed on depression and anxiety symptoms using structural equation modeling. Elevations in reported depression and anxiety symptoms were both associated with elevated mean-level quarrelsome and submissive Behavior. Independent of mean-level Behavior and concurrent depression symptoms, elevated anxiety symptoms were associated with elevated variability in agreeable, dominant, and submissive Behavior and with elevated variability in type of Interpersonal Behavior (i.e., spin). Depression symptoms were unrelated to variability in Interpersonal Behavior. Results demonstrate that variability in Behavior distinguishes anxiety from depression symptoms.

  • Unfolding Interpersonal Behavior.
    Journal of personality, 2005
    Co-Authors: Debbie S. Moskowitz
    Abstract:

    Models of Interpersonal traits have traditionally contained two independent dimensions, one referring to dominance as the opposite of submissiveness and the other referring to agreeableness as the opposite of quarrelsomeness. These models are primarily based on psychometric analyses of the co-occurrence of Interpersonal characteristics. The present article reviews literature based on event-contingent recording studies that examine whether the structure of Interpersonal Behavior as revealed in its everyday occurrence is consistent with this model of Interpersonal traits. Evidence from studies of the effects of hierarchical social role situations, the relations between Behaviors and affect, and the effects of alterations in serotonin are used to evaluate whether dominance, submissiveness, agreeableness, and quarrelsomeness are related, opposite, or independent Behavioral systems. The pattern of findings suggests that agreeableness and quarrelsomeness may be part of the same Behavioral system while dominance and submissiveness may have separate underlying Behavioral systems.

  • The mitigation of Interpersonal Behavior.
    Journal of personality and social psychology, 2000
    Co-Authors: Marc A. Fournier, Debbie S. Moskowitz
    Abstract:

    Theorists since D. Bakan (1966) have advocated the importance of mitigation for successful adaptation within the Interpersonal domain. Although mitigation has previously been conceptualized as a balance between agency and communion (interdimensional mitigation), the circumplex framework suggests that mitigation may also be conceptualized as a balance within agency and a balance within communion (intradimensional mitigation). In the two present studies, participants collected records of their Interpersonal Behavior and affect subsequent to their social interactions for a period of 20 days. Random coefficient procedures were then used to examine these two contrasting models of mitigation in the prediction of affect. No empirical evidence of interdimensional mitigation was found. The findings suggest that agency and communion were each mitigated intradimensionally through moderate levels of Behavioral expression.

  • characteristic Interpersonal Behavior in dependent and avoidant personality disorder can be observed within very short interaction sequences
    Journal of Personality Disorders, 2006
    Co-Authors: Daniel Leising, Doreen Sporberg, Diana Rehbein
    Abstract:

    We present a Behavior observation study of Interpersonal Behavior in 96 female subjects, who had been screened for the presence of dependent, avoidant, narcissistic and histrionic personality disorder features. Each subject took part in three short role-plays, taken from assertiveness training. Afterwards, both the subject and her role-play partner judged, how assertive the subject had been. Although observation time was very short, dependent and avoidant subjects could be easily identified from their overly submissive Behavior in the role-plays. Histrionic and narcissistic subjects did not show distinctive Interpersonal Behavior. Contrary to a common belief, higher scores on some personality disorder (PD) scales were positively related to cross-situational variability of Behavior. Results are discussed with regard to their implications for clinical diagnostics, therapy and the methodology of personality disorder research in general.

  • a comparison of signal and event contingent ambulatory assessment of Interpersonal Behavior and affect in social situations
    Psychological Assessment, 2019
    Co-Authors: Philip H Himmelstein, William C Woods, Aidan G.c. Wright
    Abstract:

    Ambulatory assessment (e.g., ecological momentary assessment) is now widely used in psychological research, yet key design decisions remain largely informed by methodological lore as opposed to systematic inquiry. The present study experimentally tested whether signal- (e.g., random prompt) and event- (e.g., complete a survey every time a target event occurs) contingent recording procedures of Interpersonal Behavior and affect in social situations yield equivalent quality and quantity of data. Participants (N = 286) completed baseline questionnaires, underwent cluster randomization to either a signal- or event-contingent condition, and then completed 1 week of ambulatory assessment, during which they answered questions about their social Behavior and affect tied to their social interactions. Conditions were compared on response frequency, means and variances of Interpersonal Behavior and affect, correlations between Interpersonal Behavior and affect within-subject, and associations between momentary Behavior and affect and baseline variables (e.g., Big Five traits). Results indicated that signal- and event-contingent recording techniques provided equivalent data quality, suggesting that researchers can use the 2 methodologies interchangeably to draw conclusions about means, variances, and associations when examining social interactions. However, results also showed that event-contingent recording returned, on average, a higher number of reported social interactions per individual, and this was true for most time periods of the day. Thus, event-contingent recording may hold advantages for studying frequency and timing of social interactions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2019 APA, all rights reserved).

  • Impacts of familiarity, conflict, and sex on continuous Interpersonal Behavior
    2018
    Co-Authors: Christopher James Hopwood, Alana L. Harrison, Marlissa C. Amole, Jeffrey M. Girard, Aidan G.c. Wright, Katherine M Thomas, Pamela Sadler, Emily B. Ansell, Tara M. Chaplin, Leslie C. Morey
    Abstract:

    Examines impacts of familiarity, conflict, and sex on continuously assessed Behavior in dyadic interactions using the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics across several samples. Establishes norms and basic psychometrics for CAID while also informing factors that influence Interpersonal Behavior.

  • momentary patterns of covariation between specific affects and Interpersonal Behavior linking relationship science and personality assessment
    Psychological Assessment, 2017
    Co-Authors: Jaclyn M Ross, Jeffrey M. Girard, Aidan G.c. Wright, Joseph E Beeney, Lori N Scott, Michael N Hallquist, Sophie A Lazarus, Stephanie D Stepp, Paul A Pilkonis
    Abstract:

    Relationships are among the most salient factors affecting happiness and wellbeing for individuals and families. Relationship science has identified the study of dyadic Behavioral patterns between couple members during conflict as an important window in to relational functioning with both short-term and long-term consequences. Several methods have been developed for the momentary assessment of Behavior during Interpersonal transactions. Among these, the most popular is the Specific Affect Coding System (SPAFF), which organizes social Behavior into a set of discrete Behavioral constructs. This study examines the Interpersonal meaning of the SPAFF codes through the lens of Interpersonal theory, which uses the fundamental dimensions of Dominance and Affiliation to organize Interpersonal Behavior. A sample of 67 couples completed a conflict task, which was video recorded and coded using SPAFF and a method for rating momentary Interpersonal Behavior, the Continuous Assessment of Interpersonal Dynamics (CAID). Actor partner interdependence models in a multilevel structural equation modeling framework were used to study the covariation of SPAFF codes and CAID ratings. Results showed that a number of SPAFF codes had clear Interpersonal signatures, but many did not. Additionally, actor and partner effects for the same codes were strongly consistent with Interpersonal theory's principle of complementarity. Thus, findings reveal points of convergence and divergence in the 2 systems and provide support for central tenets of Interpersonal theory. Future directions based on these initial findings are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record

  • The Social Behavior Inventory for children in a child abuse treatment program: development of a tool to measure Interpersonal Behavior.
    Child maltreatment, 2001
    Co-Authors: Kevin J. Gully
    Abstract:

    This article presents information about a tool that can be completed in a few minutes to measure the Interpersonal Behavior of children participating in a child abuse treatment program. One sample of children came from the community and had no reported history of abuse or mental health services. A second sample was children obtaining therapy services through a child abuse treatment program. Factor analysis of scores provided by parents for their children obtaining therapy services led to the development of three scales to assess aversive Interpersonal Behavior, two to measure prosocial Interpersonal Behavior, and one to measure total Interpersonal competence. Numerous indices of reliability and validity are presented. Data delineated the potential value of the scales for assessing the impact of therapy. The current results suggested that the Social Behavior Inventory may have value as a measure of Interpersonal Behavior when providing therapy to children in a child abuse treatment program if used prudently.
