Figure 1. An Overview of Major Study Hypotheses in a Positive Interpersonal Interaction.

Figure 1.

Note. PE = positive emotions. PPR = perceived partner responsiveness. All models controlled for global levels of the outcome variable (i.e., positive emotions or responsiveness) for both members of the interaction, the actor’s avoidance motivation, as well as the expresser’s approach and avoidance motivation. The tests of Hypotheses 2A, 3A, and 3B were indirect effects. So, for instance, the upward observability hypothesis includes the path from Pam’s upward affective reactivity path and the path from Pam’s interaction positive emotion to Jim’s perceptions of Pam’s positive emotions during the interactions.
