Abstract
The five studies described here lay the foundation for investigations of an important constraint under which individuals operate when attempting to engender liking, their affinity-seeking competence. Several studies were undertaken to develop and validate a self-report instrument for assessing skills of affinity-seeking. Results indicate that the Affinity-Seeking Instrument (ASI), which is comprised of two scales, has internal consistency, a stable factor structure, and concurrent and discriminant validity. These studies also indicate that the instrument measures social tendencies that are observable to others and predictive of positive social outcomes.
