Social Allergens and the Reactions That They Produce

Escalation of Annoyance and Disgust in Love and Work

  • Chapter
Aversive Interpersonal Behaviors

Part of the book series: The Springer Series in Social/Clinical Psychology ((SSSC))

Abstract

Much of the research in our laboratory has focused on the positive aspects of human interaction, such as attraction (Cunningham, Roberts, Barbee, & Druen, 1995), partner selection strategies (Druen, 1995), helpfulness (Cunningham, Shaffer, Barbee, Wolfe, & Kelley, 1990), honesty (Cunningham, Wong, & Barbee, 1994), and socially supportive cheering-up behaviors (Barbee & Cunningham, 1995). Yet, there may be limits to what can be learned about relationship dynamics by focusing solely on the determinants of prosocial actions.
