In this article, the author, who is Associate Professor of Education, Syracuse University, poses the following questions: Are teachers' perceptions of their supervisors' styles related to the quality of interpersonal relations that teachers see existing between themselves and their supervisors? Do differential descriptions of behavioral styles produce different perceptions of the interpersonal relationship?

We investigated social perceptions and consequences of depression and anxiety in roommate relationships. Mildly depressed, anxious but nondepressed, and nondepressed-nonanxious students (targets) and normal, same-sex roommates (a) rated the interpersonal impact on themselves of typical associations with their roommates and (b) judged their own interpersonal impact. Only depressed men received negative evaluations and emotional reactions from their roommates. However, depressed women reported more negative reactions to their normal roommates than vice versa. Finally, depressed targets perceived their interpersonal impact negatively, whereas their normal roommates perceived their own interpersonal impact as overly positive. These findings suggest that negative relationships between depressives and nondepressed others may be attributable, at least in part, to both participants' misperceptions of their social behavior and its consequences.

While many studies have examined both boldness and behavioral inhibition from psychological, psychiatric and physiological perspectives, little in the way of controlled experimental work has examined the costs or benefits of boldness and behavioral inhibition. Predator inspection behavior in fish is a model system for just such an approach. Here, we examined one potential benefit to boldness by examining the relationship between boldness/behavioral inhibition (measured by predator inspection behavior) and associative learning in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata). We found a positive relationship between male boldness and a simple associative learning task, in that males that learned to associate a cue with food were bolder than those that did not.

Patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD) suffer greatly from their unstable interpersonal relationships. Studies on explanatory mechanisms driving social dysfunctions in patients' real-life relationships are, however, lacking. Here, we aimed to investigate one of the most central aspects of close relationships, interpersonal trust, in romantic relationships of persons with BPD. We tested the hypothesis that patients with BPD show unstable trustworthiness perception toward their partner, which we expected to be most pronounced after a relationship-threatening situation. Thirty-one heterosexual couples in which the women were diagnosed with BPD and 36 healthy control (HC) couples (total N = 134) each discussed three different topics that where (a) neutral (favorite films), (b) personally threatening (personal fears), and (c) relationship threatening (possible reasons for separation from partner). Trustworthiness appraisal of the partner was assessed after each conversation by self-report. BPD patients did not differ from HC women on trustworthiness perception after the neutral conversation but reported diminished trustworthiness perception after both threatening situations compared to HCs. BPD patients' trustworthiness perception was by trend decreased after the separation versus fear condition. The perceived tenderness in the relationship was a protective factor. The inability to maintain a stable image of a trustworthy partner during threatening situations might lead to difficulties in interpersonal relationships of patients with BPD. Although relationship threats possibly play a particular role in this context, trustworthiness perception decreases are not limited to this kind of threat. (PsycINFO Database Record

The boldness of individual Brachyrhaphis episcopi , collected from regions of high and low predation, was investigated using two independent assays: (1) the time to emerge from cover and (2) the propensity to leave shoal mates and investigate a novel object. A strong correlation between the two assays was revealed such that fish that emerged from shelter sooner were also more likely to approach a novel object. This is indicative of a boldness personality axis acting across both behavioural contexts. Fish from high‐predation areas were bolder than those from low‐predation areas and males were bolder than females. A significant correlation between body mass, standard length ( L S ) and boldness score was also found. In general, bold fish had a greater body mass at a given L S than shy fish. These results suggest that personality traits are strongly influenced by population‐specific ecological variables and may have fitness consequences in wild populations.

Forming ties with media consumers and investing effort in knowing what they do and what happens to them is a common reason many people use media. The one-sided nature of these parasocial experiences, however, suggests that consumers may be using them, in part, based on egocentric motivations. In this study, a model of egocentric motivations for engagement in parasocial relationships is offered as a means of enhancing the scholarly understanding of who is most likely to form the strongest mediated ties and experience the various benefits and consequences therein. Additionally, a concept from interpersonal relationship literature (i.e., interpersonal perception) is developed within a parasocial relationship framework as a means of drawing additional parallels between parasocial and interpersonal relationships. This new concept (i.e., parasocial perception) serves to add nuance to how parasocial relationships are understood to form, and be experienced by consumers. Study findings reveal support for our model of egocentric parasocial motivations and demonstrate the emerging viability of the interpersonal perception concept in a mediated context. These data are discussed in terms of their scholarly and practical implications.
