Conversely, if you perceive a negative violation valance but view the communicator reward valance as positive, it is likely that you will compensate for your partners negative behavior. For example, one day your boss appears sullen and throws a stack of papers in front of you. Rather than grunt back, EVT that you will compensate for your boss’ negativity, perhaps by asking if everything is OK (Guerrero & Burgoon, 1996). More difficult to predict, however, the situation in which someone you view as having a negative reward valance violates you with a positive behavior. In this situation, you may reciprocate, giving the person the “benefit of the doubt.” Alternatively you may view the communicator as having suspicious motives, thereby compensating. --> Testing #1
