Area of Science:

  • Social Psychology
  • Relationship Science

Background:

  • Individuals form relationship schemas based on experiences.
  • Complementary behavior (similar affiliation, opposite control) is commonly expected in relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how relationship expectations influence self-perception.
  • To provide evidence for the concept of complementary self-construal.

Main Methods:

  • Examined how individuals assimilate and contrast on affiliation and control dimensions.
  • Investigated factors moderating complementary self-construal, including target familiarity and focus.

Main Results:

  • Evidence found for complementary self-construal, where individuals align with partners on affiliation and differentiate on control.
  • Self-construal effects were moderated by relationship context and focus.

Conclusions:

  • Relationship knowledge and expectations shape self-construal.
  • Complementary self-construal demonstrates how interpersonal beliefs influence self-perception in relationships.
