Abstract: Can patterns or redundancies be identified in the \nsequences of behaviors that are exchanged between \nindividuals in social interactions? The present study \ndirectly examined the most controversial form of \ncomplementarity: whether dominant behaviors are \nfollowed by submissive behaviors, and whether \nsubmissive behaviors are followed by dominant \nbehaviors. We were specifically concerned with recent \nclaims that complementarity on the dominant - \nsubmissive axis does not exist, and that dominant - \nsubmissive behavior is instead the result of \npersonality tendencies. Clear evidence was found for \ncomplementarity in relational control behaviors \nutilizing appropriate aggregated and sequential \nanalyses. However, there was also an unexpected \ntendency for dominance to evoke further dominant \nbehaviors. Individual difference tendencies were \ncorrelated with relational control behaviors, but not \nas strongly or consistently as predicted.
