What exactly is the difference between positive and negative face needs?

Hey all!

I am constantly asked this question by many of my students, and since they've been asking it frequently, I believe others may want to know too!

The study design has been updated for 2016-2020 and part of this update is the inclusion and awareness of ‘positive and negative face needs’. I had this document on my PC from Year 12 and I figured it would be come in handy!

Positive face refers to a person’s need to be accepted or liked by others, and to be treated as a member of a group knowing that their wants are shared by others.

Negative face refers to a person’s need to be independent and not be imposed on by others.

I've uploaded it as a full document, so please see the attached document below. :)

Let me know if you need any help!
