互补理论提出了一些关于人际风格的具体假设，这些假设将导致成功的人际关系。本研究试图通过检验同性同伴二人组和使用人际风格的线人报告来扩展先前关于互补性性别差异的研究。120名参与者（30名男性和30名女性室友）完成了他们的室友和关系的凝聚力测量人际环的评级。考试的互补性表明，妇女报告的互补性显着比男性在他们的室友二人组。然而，对于男性和女性来说，在主导地位方面，二分体越接近完美互补，关系就越有凝聚力。讨论了社会发展中的性别差异。
Complementarity theory proposes specific hypotheses regarding interpersonal styles that will result in successful relationships. The present study sought to extend previous research on gender differences in complementarity through the examination of same-sex peer dyads and the use of informant reports of interpersonal style. One hundred twenty participants ( 30 male and 30 female roommate dyads) completed interpersonal circumplex ratings of their roommates and a relationship cohesion measure. Examinations of complementarity indicate that women reported significantly more complementarity than men within their roommate dyads. However, for men and women, the closer the dyad was to perfect complementarity in terms of dominance, the more cohesive the relationship. Results are discussed in relation to gender differences in social development.
