Summary:

This work explores the rich conceptual and empirical possibilities within current frameworks of interpersonal domains of personality and extends them beyond the current theories, using the interpersonal traits of dominance and nurturance as conceptual starting points. Through its examination of agency (the intrapersonal) and communion (the interpersonal), it offers a framework for relationship and social scientists to delve into their own research on interdependence processes.
