“…Interpersonal affiliation and dominance have been analyzed on the basis of trait ratings as well as on the basis of interaction behavior, and have been used to describe situational dynamics in which interacting partners exert mutual influence (cf. Kiesler 1996;Sadler and Woody 2003;Tracey 2004). Interpersonal affiliation and dominance behavior has been linked to therapy outcomes (Henry et al 1990) and to interpersonal patterns in therapist-patient-relationships (e.g., Kiesler 1996;Kiesler and Auerbach 2003).…”

“…In the context of coaching, this line of reasoning implies that an ideal coach-client interaction would include dominant-friendly behavior by coaches that trigger submissive-friendly client reactions. Interactions that are characterized by dissimilar patterns on the dominance dimension (when at the same time reciprocating on the affiliation dimension) have been linked to reciprocal liking among interactants (Tiedens and Fragale 2003), satisfaction with the interaction (Dryer and Horowitz 1997;Tracey 2004), and the performance of interacting partners in experimental settings (Estroff and Nowicki 1992).…”

“…The impact of interpersonal affiliation and dominance has been analyzed in therapist-client interactions (e.g., Heller et al 1963;Tracey 2004) and supervisor-subordinate interactions (e.g., Chen and Bernstein 2000). However, coaching is distinct from other counseling settings such as psychotherapy.…”

Coaches and Clients in Action: A Sequential Analysis of Interpersonal Coach and Client Behavior

Purpose Despite calls for studying interaction processes in coaching, little is known about the link between coachclient interactions and coaching success. In particular, interpersonal behavior in coaching remains unexplored, although it is considered highly relevant to social relationships and interaction outcomes. This study takes first steps to address this gap. Design/Methodology/Approach We examined the dynamics of coaches' and clients' interpersonal behavior based on the two basic dimensions affiliation and dominance. Furthermore, we investigated the link between emergent interpersonal behavior patterns and coaching outcomes. To this end, we videotaped and analyzed a total of 11,095 behavioral acts nested in 30 coach-client dyads. Findings Sequential analysis showed that reciprocal friendliness patterns were positively linked to working alliance. Coaches' dominant-friendly interaction behavior particularly activated clients, in terms of showing dominance during the coaching interaction process. Clients' dominance was linked to their overall goal attainment. ImplicationsOur results highlight the importance of interpersonal behavior for coaching success. Specifically, our findings suggest that dominance interaction patterns are context-and relation-specific, offering an explanation for contradicting empirical studies on interpersonal dominance. For coaches, our study implies that high awareness for interpersonal signals can help establish a positive atmosphere and activate clients' dominance. Originality/Value This empirical study uses behavior observation and interaction analysis to understand the interpersonal dynamics during coaching sessions. Our results increase our theoretical understanding of coaching effectiveness by shedding light on the micro-level behavioral dynamics that drive successful coaching processes.

“…This circular ordering suggests that interpersonal styles that fall close together are more positively related than styles that fall further apart, interpersonal styles at right angels are unrelated, and styles opposite each other are negatively related. The two-dimensional structure provided by the IPC has been shown to be a valid predictor of numerous interpersonal constructs and risky behaviors (e.g., Horowitz, 1996;Madison, 1997;Markey, Funder, & Ozer, 2003;Markey & Kurtz, 2006;Markey, Markey, & Tinsley, 2005;Pincus & Wilson, 2001;Sadler & Woody, 2003;Tracey, 2004;Trobst, Ayearst, & Salekin, 2004).…”

In order to investigate the interpersonal meaning of sexual promiscuity, the relations between various sexual activities and the Interpersonal Circumplex (IPC) were examined. Two hundred and ten participants (105 women and 105 men; mean age = 24.88 years) indicated the number of people they had engaged in various sexual activates with (e.g., oral manipulation of genitals, sexual intercourse, etc.). These participants' interpersonal styles were also assessed using the primary dimensions of the IPC: dominance and warmth. As predicted, a positive linear relation was found, for men and women, between interpersonal dominance and the number of partners a person had for each type of sexual activity. Additionally, for both men and women, a curvilinear relation was found between interpersonal warmth and the number of partners a person had for each type of sexual activity. Specifically, participants who were either extremely warm or extremely cold tended to have more sexual partners than individuals who were moderately warm. These findings extend past research linking the Five Factor Model traits of extraversion and agreeableness to sexual promiscuity and also help illustrate the dual interpersonal meaning of sexual experience.

“…La investigación indica que la semejanza en las actitudes de las personas es más importante en la determinación de su atracción mutua que la equivalencia en sus personalidades (Montoya y Horton, 2004). La teoría de la necesidad de complementariedad, señala que la gente elige relaciones en las cuales sus motivaciones básicas pueden ser mutuamente satisfechas, lo que a veces da origen a que personas con características distintas se atraigan entre sí (Tracey, 2004).…”

RESUMENLa relación hombre mujer ha variado a medida que las expectativas de género se han ido diversificando en el mundo moderno. Esta investigación evaluó el efecto de la competencia sobre la percepción masculina del atractivo femenino. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 80 varones, quienes participaron en un estudio con una fase experimental. Se les pidió evaluar el atractivo a dos mujeres, una femenina, y otra femenina y competente. Posteriormente contestaron un cuestionario sobre la misma temática. Ambos resultados indican que los hombres que adhieren al estereotipo femenino tradicional consideran más atractivas a las mujeres femeninas, mientras que los que no adhieren, prefieren a la mujer competente y femenina. Se discuten las implicancias de estos resultados en las relaciones amorosas. PALABRAS CLAVE: Estereotipo de género, atractivo, compentencia. ABSTRACTThe male-female relationship has altered as the expectations of gender have developed and diversified in the modern world. This study assesses the effect of competence upon male perception of female attractiveness. The sample was composed of 80 male participants who took part in an experimental stage study. They were asked to evaluate the attractiveness of two types of women: one feminine and the other feminine and competent. Subsequently they were asked to answer a questionnaire about the same topic. Both results indicate that those male who adhere to the traditional feminine stereotype consider those feminine women more attractive while those who do not adhere to that stereotype prefer women who are both competent and feminine. Implications of these results are analyzed within the context of love relationships.
