Abstract

The present study was conceived as an exploratory study of interpersonal scenario(Kelley, 1983a) and focused on relations affects(or interpersonal affects), as distinguished from emotions(e.g, fear, anger, joy, happiness) and simple affects(e.g, pleasantness) commonly studied in psychology. College students were presented with 18 relations affects comprising 9 affect dimensions(close vs. distant; grateful vs. resentful; humble vs. contentious; human vs. inhuman; honest vs. dishonest; tolerant vs. intolerant; kind vs. unkind; fair vs. unfair; trustworthy vs. untrustworthy) and were asked to indicate other's behaviors that are most likely to engender a given affect in themselves. Behaviors cited were grouped for each affect. The results showed that a small number of categories of other's behaviors(situations) are specifically associated with a particular affect and that these situations did not overlap among affects. Implications for interpersonal scenario were discussed.
