Abstract
In I/O psychology field, identification and disidentification always thought as a unipolar conception. Until Elasbach(1999) propose the extended model of identification. He argue that identification means connect and attachment; disconnection means separation and segment. This two dimensions can discriminate four kinds of people. But this model still in theoretical debate, and have no evidence to support this argument. Moreover, past study was focused on organizational level (organizational identification), the interpersonal level had out of consideration for a long time. For this theoretical gap, the aim for this paper is to test and verify the reliability of expanded model of identification at interpersonal level.Sampling from 289 students in NTU, the result showed that (1) Identification and disidentification are different psychological concept which means connect and segment. (2) In general, identification has positive effect for personal interaction; disidentification has negative effect. (3) Disidentification is a definitely definition for relationship, and has much effect for interpersonal interaction. (4) This four types of identifications (identification, disidentification, ambivalence identification, nonidentification) has unique psychology state and behavior pattern. Implications for managers and future relation identification research are discussed.
