What is behaviour?
Behaviour is that which a person says (verbal) and does (nonverbal), in other words, a pattern of actions.
What is interpersonal behaviour?
The verbal or nonverbal actions which occur between at least two people.
RMIT University©08/04/2023 RMIT International University Vietnam 11
What is an interpersonal situation?
It is the context, or the circumstances or setting in which at least two people interact.
Example: the interpersonal situation (the environment) right now is different than, say next week.
Why? The interaction now will be completely different than when we meet again, because we will have a better understanding of each other, we will know each other more, we will have greater knowledge about interpersonal relationships.

Points to remember
1. Our behaviours are more predictable than we think.
2. Assertiveness and responsiveness dimensions refer only to BEHAVIOUR, which are actions we can see or hear, and not representative of the total personality.
3. The assertiveness scale describes the effort a person makes to directly influence the thoughts and actions of others. Asks vs. tells.
4. The responsiveness scale describes how much a person shows or controls their emotion. Controlling tend to be more task oriented. Emoting tends to be more people oriented.
5. A key point to always remember is there is no “best place” on either the assertiveness or responsiveness dimensions.

Review of the Dimensions of Behaviour Section
What would more telling behaviour look or sound like?
What would more asking behaviour look or sound like?
How would you describe controlling behaviours?
How would you describe emoting behaviours?
Why is there no “best place” on either side?
RMIT University©08/04/2023 RMIT International University Vietnam 21
Now consider both the assertiveness and responsiveness dimension and place yourself on the SOCIAL STYLE MODEL.

Now YOU!
1. Count the number of “ones” that you marked. Write that number in the Tally Box marked #1. Do the same with the numbers two, three, and four.
2. On the first tally box below, draw a line through the number on the bar graph that corresponds with your total number of “ones." This is the end line for your bar graph.
3. Beginning at the left end, shade the space on the bar up to your end line on the first bar graph.
4. Do the same for the second, third, and fourth graphs.
5. The longest bar is your predominant style. The second longest bar is your backup style.
Is there a difference between your personal style inventory and what your peers stated? Why do you suppose this is?

Assumptions About Personal Styles
1. There is no best or worst style.
2. There are no pure styles.
3. Behaviour style does not explain the whole person.
4. Much of the population is different from you.
5. We all have goals we hope to attain and results we wish to achieve.
6. Apply the “PLATINUM RULE.
