Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation
Overview
Fundamental interpersonal relations orientation (FIRO) is a theory of interpersonal relations, introduced by William Schutz
in 1958. This theory mainly explains the interpersonal underworld of a small group. The theory is based on the belief that when people get together in a group, there are three main interpersonal needs they are looking to obtain – affection/openness, control and inclusion. Schutz developed a measuring instrument that contains six scales of nine-item questions that he called FIRO-B.
