What is an example of the FIRO-B model?

The FIRO-B model is an interpersonal relations theory introduced by psychologist Will Schutz in the late 1950s. It measures behavior derived from three key needs: Inclusion, Control, and Affection. The model uses self-report to assess how frequently a person engages in behaviors associated with these needs, and with how many people. High scores indicate characteristic behaviors, while low scores suggest less frequent engagement. The FIRO-B helps individuals increase awareness of their interpersonal needs, develop strategies to meet those needs, manage conflict, and build more satisfying relationships.
