ABSTRACT
In most daily situations, we are faced with interpersonal transactions that demand some form of extended interaction. The previous two chapters established which personality variables lead people to be assertive, accommodative, affiliative, or disaffiliative. As with all social events, the continued use of each of these major poles of interpersonal space assumes a significant response from the other people who are involved. For example, an individual cannot continue to play some form of the follower role without complementary leadership responses from another person. The purpose of this chapter is to examine the nature of the relationship that develops between people as they devise ways to maximize opportunities available in a situation.
