WILL SCHUTZ PRESENTED FIRO THEORY, AND THE CLASSIC MEASURING INSTRUMENT FIRO-B (NOW ELEMENT B), TO SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY IN 1958. FIRO DESCRIBES INTERPERSONAL BEHAVIOR IN TERMS OF THREE PRIMARY DIMENSIONS:- NEED FOR INCLUSION, WHETHER ONE WANTS TO BE "IN" OR "OUT" OF A PARTICULAR GROUP . NEED FOR CONTROL, WHETHER ONE WANTS TO BE "UP" OR "DOWN" (SUPERORDINATE, SUBORDINATE). NEED FOR AFFECTION (OPENNESS REPLACED THIS DIMENSION IN MORE RECENT WORK), WHETHER ONE WANTS TO BE "CLOSE" OR "DISTANT“. FIRO-B MEASURES THESE THREE DIMENSIONS FROM TWO PERSPECTIVES: EXPRESSED BEHAVIOR: BEHAVIOR ONE FEELS MOST COMFORTABLE SHOWING WANTED BEHAVIOR: BEHAVIOR ONE WANTS TO BE SHOWN BY OTHER .
