This study introduces the Triangle of Interpersonal Models (TIM), a new framework for social psychology. TIM classifies social phenomena based on the number of people involved and their distinct social-psychological functions.

Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Interpersonal Dynamics
  • Social Cognition

Background:

  • Holistic conceptions in social psychology lack rigorous classification.
  • Understanding the impact of people on social phenomena requires a structured approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel framework, the Triangle of Interpersonal Models (TIM), for classifying social-psychological phenomena.
  • To provide a 2-dimensional scheme analyzing the number of people and their functions in social interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 2-dimensional classification scheme (TIM).
  • Categorization of social phenomena based on the number of contributing individuals (1, 2, 3, or p people).
  • Analysis of the distinct social-psychological functions (1, 2, 3, or f functions) served by individuals.

Main Results:

  • TIM provides models for phenomena involving varying numbers of people and functions.
  • Complex social phenomena are decomposed into components of interpersonal causation.
  • The framework offers a rigorous approach to holistic social psychology.

Conclusions:

  • TIM offers a fresh perspective on the individual-group relationship in social psychology.
  • The framework enhances the rigor of understanding social-psychological phenomena.
  • TIM facilitates a more nuanced analysis of interpersonal causation.
