b. Response-evoking capacities. Prior formulations regarding the typing of 

 behavior and personality, exemplified by Schaefer (19r)9, 1961), suggest that 

 the nature of one's own S and the nature of the response evoked from others 

 is influenced by the mood or attitude of the other individual involved. This 

 mood or attitude determines how one views the target diameters of others. 

 It determines whether one focuses on the dominant rf-genes or the recessive 

 <:/-genes of others. That is, when an individual responds to another does he 

 look at the other's desirable or undesirable characteristics. It will be a 

 prime premise of my formulation that one can be afTected only by the good 

 or by the bad side of another at a particular moment in time, but not by 

 both simultaneously. Furthermore, I shall show that there are two ways of 

 assessing the good qualities, the dominant d-genes, of another. Likewise, 

 there are two ways of assessing the undesirable finalities, the recessive 

 rf-genes, of another. Any individual's (/-genotype in a social setting produces 

 four types of r/-phcnotypos, that is four kinds of S. 



Let 



*S(-^> represent the response-e\-oking capacity of an individual affecting 

 the probability of his being chosen by associates as an object of 

 affection. Sa is related to Schaefer's love-acceptance. Sa depends 

 upon both the common target diameter, (d) , and on dominant 

 d-genes. 



gia) represent the response-evoking capacity of an individual affecting 

 the probability of his being rejected by associates. S'^"^ is related 

 to Schaefer's hostility-rejection. S'-"^ depends solely on recessive 

 rf-genes. It is dependent in no way upon the common traits, (d) . 



S'^^^ represent the response-evoking capacity of an individual affecting 

 how intensely he will be loved or approved of by associates. Love 

 here implies intensity of positive response and thus connotes 

 increase in probability of an individual realizing the objective of 

 his behavior. *S'^'^ determines the extent to which an individual's 

 desires will be facilitated by associates. In this sense, S'-^^ is 

 related to Schaefer's autonomy. S'-^^ depends upon both the 

 common target channels, (d), and on dominant rf-genes. 



*§(") represent the response-evoking capacity of an individual affecting 

 the degree to which its velocity is altered. S'-'^ is related to 

 Schaefer's control. *S^''^ is dependent solely upon recessive d- 

 genes. It influences the intensity of negative sanctions imposed by 

 associates. 



Equations for ;S^^' and S'f'' have already been given; i.e., Eqs. (92) 

 and (93) subject to the restrictions there stated.
