abstract="In the last twenty years &quot;data of social psychology have been meager and personality studies have been mostly restricted to clinical observations.&quot; A theory is needed to facilitate development in these areas. Properties of a theory for personality and social behavior include (1) actions, i.e., &quot;the basic events to which behavior theory has reference&quot;; (2) dynamics, i.e., &quot;changes in behavior in (a) performance (b) acquisition and (c) potentialities for action.&quot; If personality and social behavior are to be included in a single theory, the basic monadic unit of behavior must be expendable into a diadic one.
