Three-dimensional theory of interpersonal relationship;

Social psychologist Shu Ci put forward the three-dimensional theory of interpersonal needs in 1958. Shu Ci believes that every individual has three basic needs in the process of interpersonal communication, namely, tolerance needs, dominance needs and emotional needs. These three basic interpersonal needs determine the behavior that individuals take in interpersonal communication, and how to describe, explain and predict the behavior of others.

The formation of the three basic needs is closely related to the individual's early growth experience. Shu Ci further divides people's social behavior into six interpersonal behavior patterns according to three basic interpersonal needs and the initiative and passivity of individuals in expressing these three basic interpersonal needs.
