Egocentrism and Egocentrifugality, Aggressing and Manipulating, Alienating and Structuring.
Second: behaviors will be placed on axes defined by polar opposites. Thus egocentric behavior is opposed to what we shall call "egocentrifugality." An individual's behaviors may be identified as located at some given point at or between the two extremes.
Third: It is important not to attach too great an emotional or valuative sense to the terms descibing the behaviors. For example, I could have used the word "altruism" to express what I mean rather than the enigmatic "egocentrifugality." However altruism carries with it a vastly better press than, let us say, egoism. To avoid such "loading." I prefer the term "egocentrifugality," which we can dissect shortly.
Fourth, just because we identify behaviors along a one-dimensional axis, it does not mean that the values giving rise to them are also unidimensional. In fact, they are not.
