Effects of the nature of interpersonal interdependency and the self-construals upon the interpersonal behaviors

本研究探讨了自我的独立性和相互依赖性如何影响个体的人际行为。结果表明：1.第一个研究以Thibaut和Kelly的相互依存理论为基础，试图阐明亲子关系的结构，亲子关系是最重要的人际关系之一。(1)相互依赖模式在不同情境下都相当稳定，表明父母和子女在倾向性水平上的相互依赖程度高于给定的矩阵水平;（2）父母表现出一致的相互依赖模式，几乎没有RC，但有很高的BC。我们设计了一个新的问卷规模，以衡量一个人的自我的conciliation的相互依赖性或独立性，更适合当前的日本学生。(1)认知风格与自我概念之间存在显著的相关性。自我认知的独立性得分越高，其认知方式越具有场独立性。(2)人际关系亲密时，自我成员间的相互依赖性显著高于人际关系陌生时。与非相互依赖的自我自我依赖者相比，自我依赖者对理想自我的评价更积极，对反理想自我的评价更消极。

This study examined how construals of the self as independent or as interdependent mediate the way of one's interpersonal behaviors. Results indicated ;1. On the basis of Thibaut and Kelly's interdependence theory, the first study attempted to clarify the structure of parent-child relationship, one of the most vital personal relationships. (1) Interdependence patterns were quite stable across the situations, suggesting that parent and child are interdependent more at the dispositional than the given matrix level ;(2) The parent showed consistent interdependence patterns with almost no RC, but a high degree of BC.2. We devised a new questionnaire scale to measure the interdependence or independence of one's construal of self, more suitable for current Japanese students.(1) Some significant relations were found between one's self-construal and his/her cognitive style. The higher the independence scores of one's self construal, the more field-independent his/her cognitive style was.(2) Interdependency of one's self-construals was higher when interpersonal situation was intimate than when others were unrelated strangers.3. Respondents whose self-construals are interdependent rated their ideal selves more positively, and their anti-ideal selves more negatively, than respondents with non-interdependent self-construals.
