Social Relations Modeling of Behavior in Dyads and Groups

The Social Relations Model provides a straightforward conceptual model of the components that make up behaviors in dyads and groups, and it is directly related to specific design requirements and statistical analyses, thereby providing a powerful conceptual and methodological toolbox to analyse behaviors in dyads and groups across the sciences. This book is specifically designed to make this toolbox accessible - beyond interpersonal perception phenomena. It helps identify the relevant phenomena and dynamics surrounding behaviors in dyads and groups, and goes on to assess and analyse them empirically.

Social Relations Modeling of Behavior covers software, interpersonal perception (adult and children), the SRM with roles (e.g. in families), and application to non-human research. Written so the content is accessible to advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers, author Thomas E. Malloy, strives to make inherently abstract material and unusual statistics accessible.

Captures essential conceptual and methodological topics around the scientific analyses of behaviors in groups and dyadsSituates the SRM in the history of dyadic researchOffers detailed guidance on research design and measurement operationsOrganizes models and empirical results into easily read figures and tablesDemonstrates how SRM variances and covariances can be used as dependent measures in experimentsConceptualizes novel phenomena in personality psychology using the SRM
