It is proposed that people negotiate and receive verification for highly positive, relationship - specific selves. Study 1 indicated that although people wanted evaluations that were roughly consistent with their self - views on most dimensions, on a dimension that was crucial to a specific relationship (physical attractiveness in dating relationships) they wanted evaluations that far exceeded their self - views. Studies 2 and 3 showed that participants recognized that their desired evaluations exceeded their self - views but they expected to - and actually did - evoke exalted appraisals of their attractiveness from dating partners. Study 4 suggested that the desire to receive exceptionally positive appraisals on relationship - relevant dimensions generalized to other self - views and same - sex, nonromantic relationship partners. The authors conclude that people find ways of circumventing the conflict between their desires to be valued yet understood.
