In personality psychology , interpersonal styles are defined as individual, stable tendencies in social interaction .

The operationalization takes place through the personality factors extraversion and tolerance (see also Big Five ). In the NEO-PI-R , the interpersonal styles can be limited to the facets of cordiality, sociability and assertiveness of the factor extraversion, while all sub-facets of compatibility are included.

Circumplex model of interpersonal styles

Interpersonal styles can be well described using two dimensions , which could also be confirmed with the help of a factor analysis . In 1988 Wiggins created a circumplex model (circle model) from the two factors dominance and love.

In this model, the vertical axis represents dominance (assertiveness) and the horizontal axis represents love. The heavily used word love is a bit misleading here, but can best be described by the facets of cordiality / sociability (extraversion) and the factor of tolerance. The circumplex model thus represents part of the Big Five in a more differentiated form.

The individual interpersonal styles are thus illustrated by the position in the circle model, the angles being determined by the respective proximity (correlation) to the two factors. The individual styles are (the degrees empirically differ slightly from those given here):

  • Warm-hearted Compatible (0 °)
  • Sociable extraverted (45 °)
  • Safe-Dominant (90 °)
  • Arrogant Calculating (135 °)
  • Cold hearted (180 °)
  • Aloof-introverted (225 °)
  • Uncertain submissive (270 °)
  • Modest-Trustful (315 °)

Capture

The interpersonal styles are recorded by the Revised Interpersonal Adjective Scale (IAS-R).

Compared to other Big Five factors, self and acquaintance reports are in good agreement because they are easily observable.
