Theorists since D. Bakan (1966) have advocated the importance of mitigation for successful adaptation within the interpersonal domain. Although mitigation has previously been conceptualized as a balance between agency and communion (interdimensional mitigation), the circumplex framework suggests that mitigation may also be conceptualized as a balance within agency and a balance within communion (intradimensional mitigation). In the two present studies, participants collected records of their interpersonal behavior and affect subsequent to their social interactions for a period of 20 days. Random coefficient procedures were then used to examine these two contrasting models of mitigation in the prediction of affect. No empirical evidence of interdimensional mitigation was found. The findings suggest that agency and communion were each mitigated intradimensionally through moderate levels of behavioral expression.
自D. 巴坎（1966年）以来，理论家们一直主张缓和对于在人际领域成功适应的重要性。尽管缓和此前被概念化为能动性与亲和性之间的平衡（跨维度缓和），但环形模型框架表明，缓和也可被概念化为能动性内部的平衡以及亲和性内部的平衡（维度内缓和）。在目前的两项研究中，参与者收集了他们在20天的社交互动后的人际行为和情感记录。然后使用随机系数程序来检验这两种对比的缓和模型对情感的预测。未发现跨维度缓和的实证证据。研究结果表明，能动性和亲和性各自通过适度的行为表达在维度内得到缓和。
