Abstract
Based primarily on the dramaturgical perspective of Goffman (1959), an approach to the study of interpersonal behavior, using the construct of performance style, is advanced. Focussing on actor-related sources of variance in interpersonal behavior, a typology of three performance styles is presented, together with a description of the prototypic individual associated with each style. A number of hypotheses are proposed relating performance style variables to interpersonal behavior.Keywords
