When meeting other people for the first time, how should one behave to be liked?
Research has explored which behaviors predict liking in social situations.Agentic behaviors may help your popularity, but may hinder you in one-on-one situations.When given a choice, most of us would prefer being liked by—and popular with—members of our social group. Human beings spend much energy on becoming socially accepted, and for good reasons. Those who like and esteem us are more likely to offer protection, encouragement, and support when times are bad.
Thus, in the model, liking can be examined in two ways. On a more general level, we can study how certain behavioral choices and tendencies make one popular within a group . On the more personal level, we can study how certain behaviors make one uniquely liked by their immediate dyadic partner . Both are socially advantageous, yet they are not one and the same, and the forces that shape them may differ.
The authors ran a series of analyses to explore how various behaviors affected popularity within groups and unique liking within dyads. Results showed that all agentic and communion behaviors significantly predicted popularity, although, taken together, the communion behaviors were a stronger predictor than agentic behaviors.
