“…Respondents rate how distressed they have been by each problem on a 0 (not at all) to 4 (extremely) scale. The IIP scales have adequate internal consistency, test-retest reliability, a circumplex structure, convergent validity with circumplex measures of interpersonal traits (Interpersonal Adjective Scales; Wiggins, Trapnell, & Phillips, 1988) and interpersonal motives (Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Values; Locke, 2000), and predictive utility in clinical settings (Horowitz et al, 2000). In the current sample, the mean scores and Cronbach's alpha for each scale were: PA (M = 0.83, SD = 0.51, α = .…”

Are interpersonal problems related to interpersonal expectations? To answer this question, 150 undergraduates reported problems with being too agentic, unagentic, communal, or uncommunal. Then, over one week, each time they imagined how someone might react to them, they recorded who the other person was, how the person reacted, their feelings, and any imagined counter-reactions. Whereas uncommunal people imagined others not caring and themselves not disclosing, agentic people imagined others criticizing and themselves arguing. Agentic and uncommunal people also expected unresponsive and unsupportive reactions. Unagentic people did not expect more negative reactions, but did expect being unable to listen or speak openly when negative reactions or feelings did occur. Imagined reactions generally tended to evoke feelings of anger in agentic people, insecurity in unagentic people, shame in communal people, and disconnection in uncommunal people. Thus, changing everyday interpersonal expectations may help reduce chronic interpersonal problems.

“…If future psychometric studies are not inconsistent with the effectiveness of the new criteria, applications to models such as the affective circumplex (Russell, 1980) and the abridged Big-Five circumplex (Hofstee et al, 1992) could help to establish circumplex structure in their respective domains. Indeed, applications to other measures within the interpersonal domain, such as the Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Values (Locke, 2000) and the octant scale Impact Message Inventory (Schmidt, Wagner, & Kiesler, 1999) would also appear fruitful.…”

The importance of the interpersonal circle in organizing the interpersonal domain is complemented by its empirical relations with broader personality taxonomies and with more specific personality variables. Yet circumplex structure in interpersonal measures has often been investigated using the "eyeball test" rather than using circumplex criteria of known effectiveness. Simulations (Acton, 1999) showed the effectiveness of 5 exploratory criteria (3 entirely new) that assess the properties of equal spacing, constant radius, and no preferred rotation. Along with Browne's (1992) criterion, these were applied to the Interpersonal

“…The inventory is adapted from a measure previously used with adult samples (the Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Values; see Locke, 2000Locke, , 2003, and it is theoretically based on the interpersonal circumplex model. The goal scales represent different blends of agentic (dominance, power, status) and communal (friendliness, warmth, love) goals.…”

“…It has been suggested in the literature concerning adults' social motivation that interpersonal goals are associated with attachment styles (Mikulincer, 1998), relational schemas (Locke, 2000), relationship representations (Fitzsimons & Bargh, 2003), and internal working models of relationships (Pietromonaco & Barrett, 2000; see also Crick & Dodge, 1994). The peer-relational schemas can be considered children's "working model of peer relations."…”

This study examined the links among 5th and 6th graders' (279 girls and 310 boys) self-and peer perceptions, social goals, and social behavior. Social goals mediated the effects of self-and peer perceptions on 3 types of behavior: proactive aggression, prosocial behavior, and withdrawal. In addition to their main effects (self-perception predicting variance in agentic goals, peer perception being related to communal goals), self-and peer perception interacted in influencing social goals; for instance, the effects of a positive view of oneself were different in the contexts of a positive versus a negative perception of peers. It is suggested that in order to predict children's social behavior more accurately, researchers should investigate children's dual perceptions of themselves and of their peers-that is, their peer-relational schemas-instead of assessing self-perception and peer perception in isolation from each other.
