Interpersonal sensitivity in status-discrepant interactions relies more on sender expressivity than perceiver perceptivity. This research clarifies key components of interpersonal sensitivity.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Interpersonal sensitivity is crucial in social interactions, particularly those with status differences.
  • Previous work by S. E. Snodgrass (1985, 1992) defined interpersonal sensitivity through expressivity and perceptivity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relative contributions of expressivity and perceptivity to interpersonal sensitivity.
  • To clarify S. E. Snodgrass's measure of interpersonal sensitivity.

Main Methods:

  • Examined interpersonal sensitivity within status-discrepant interactions.
  • Measured interpersonal sensitivity by correlating participants' perceptions of others' feelings with self-reported feelings.

Main Results:

  • Interpersonal sensitivity was more strongly associated with the sender's expressivity.

  • The perceiver's perceptivity showed a weaker association with interpersonal sensitivity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Sender expressivity plays a more significant role in interpersonal sensitivity than perceiver perceptivity.
    • Findings have implications for understanding interpersonal sensitivity, gender, and leadership.
