Description

The interpersonal circumplex (IPC) characterizes a range of interpersonal behaviors and interaction patterns (i.e. interpersonal complementarity) along the dimensions of dominance and affiliation. However, the IPC does not include a moral dimension of behavior. The purpose of this study was to examine how moral appraisal varies across the IPC and to incorporate a moral dimension into the study of interpersonal complementarity. Our results suggested that perception of another's morality strengthened patterns of interpersonal complementarity on the dominance dimension (b = -.17, SE = .09, p = .048). Our findings support the role perceived behavioral morality plays in shaping interpersonal behavior.
