  • Miller, Rowland S. (1991): On decorum in close relationships. Why aren't we polite to those we love?. In: Contemporary Social Psychology 15 (2), S. 63-65

    Abstract: Discusses the curvilinear relationship between politeness and interdependency in which the former decreases as the latter increases up to a point of mutuality when politeness bottoms out and begins to increase again. In relationships of unequal dependency, the more dependent partner has less counterpower and will thus be more polite. Impoliteness is common for 3 reasons: misplaced expectations, opportunity, and lack of motivation. The motive to be accepted by others is a fundamental determinant of social conduct; once acceptance is assured, people become more surly toward those whose acceptance matters the most.
