Relationship beliefs and emotion: Reciprocal effects

Perceptions of leader emotion regulation and LMX as predictors of followers' job satisfaction and organizational citizenship behaviors

“…Indeed, theory and research suggests the ability to display true emotion and be oneself are hallmarks of close, intimate relationships (DePaulo & Kashy, 1998;DePaulo, Kashy, Kirkendol, Wyer, & Epstein, 1996), with emotional experience and display being normative in communal (i.e., high-quality) relationships (see Clark & Brisette, 2000;Clark & Finkel, 2004). Inauthenticity, in contrast, is more common in interactions with strangers or those with whom one shares weak relational ties (Clark & Brisette, 2000). As such, high-status individuals could be expected to react more negatively to poor interpersonal treatment (e.g., inauthentic leader emotions) as they are less likely than individuals from low status groups to be accustomed to such treatment (Thau, Aquino, & Bommer, 2008).…”

Social cognitive neuroscience and leadership

“…For example, leaders may need suppress negative emotions in certain situations such as anger toward a follower (e.g., in a group environment) in order to avoid unhealthy conflict or confrontation (Clark & Brissette, 2000). On the other hand, a leader may need to suppress positive emotions, such as liking or attraction toward specific followers to avoid claims of favoritism.…”

Relationship beliefs about change and attachment on relationship persistence.

“…In other words, they are the hypotheses and beliefs people use to make sense of and guide their interactions in their relationship. These cognitive representations have a profound influence on people's emotions and behaviors in intimate relationships (Clark & Brissette, 2000).…”

“…With this structure, diverse but related constructs and schemas are conceptualized as presuppositions that guide the progression of intimate relationships. Among them are love styles (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986), communal versus exchange relationships (Clark & Brissette, 2000), dysfunctional relationship beliefs (Eidelson & Epstein, 1982), romantic ideologies (Sprecher & Metts, 1999), destiny and growth beliefs (Knee, et al, 2003) that apply Dweck and Leggett's (1988) conceptions of entity versus incremental theories, as well as the working model of self and partner derived from attachment experiences (e.g., Cassidy, 2000). It is apparent that romantic relationship beliefs involve beliefs and perceptions about the self, the partner, and the nature and quality of the relationship itself (Sprecher & Metts, 1999).…”

“…Such a conception of the various styles of love seems to have some conceptual overlapping with the "exchange" versus "communal" orientation towards romantic relationships (Hendrick & Hendrick, 1986). Clark and Brissette (2000) reviewed that people in relationships who are oriented towards equal responsibility and reciprocal care (i.e., communal relationships) are more likely to disclose their emotions than people who adopt business transactional-like relationships (i.e., exchange relationships), who will tend to calculate the benefits they can obtain from each other in the relationships. It seems that the "pragma" love style and "exchange" orientation are similar in their focus on personal benefits and loss, while "agape" and a "communal" orientation are similar in focusing more on the welfare of the other party (Batson, 1993).…”
