Two Points

"...All human interpersonal behavior represents blends of two basic motivations: the need for control (power, dominance) and the need for affiliation (love, friendliness). Persons interacting with each other continually negotiate two major personality issues: how friendly or hostile they will be with each other, and how much in charge or in control each will be in their encounters."

- D.J. Kiesler (from Contemporary Interpersonal Theory & Research: Personality, Psychopathology, & Psychotherapy)
