The relation qf autonomy to naturally occurring social interaction was investigated in two studies using a daily recording methodology. It was expected that autonomous functioning, as measured by the General Causafity Orientations Scale, would be related to positive social experience. Study 1 examined college students' interactions with parents; Study 2 examined interactions across aU relationships. Both studies showed that autonomy was significantly related to more positive and honest naturally occurring interaction, whereas control related to more defensive functioning.
