Meaning of 共同志向性


In the context of a personality quizz, what does 共同志向性 means?

I feel it is something like the quality of being a good team-player, but not
sure.

I think Google actually knows part of the answer.. at least _my_ Google.
According to her, there are two possible meanings, both of which are (social)
psychology terms.

communal orientation: "desire to give and receive benefits in response to the
needs of and out of concern for others"

  * The first Google result is an academic paper ([Google Quick View](https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache%3aizjkwO0HHWoJ%3awww.wdc-jp.biz/jssp/archive/paper_download.php%3Fs%3D2005-E-0364+&hl=en&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESgMMekqdjnGXr481tJ2tQAmepRruPb7In8n-x7LrS66wOL1ioxjX9iUywRv5soVlTNWPlO5GspJAsJ3zP932SHPYd4am9HIQ1ZAWlA3urQsVV4gRm9r-_U7_9XupPQzPX_7oD3I&sig=AHIEtbQHteAzbW1ZVm82ICwYh1JvphpYtA)), which cites "Clark, Ouellette, Powell, & Milberg, 1987" as its source for the methodology of measuring communal orientation ("共同志向尺度")
  * The definition above is given by [another paper](http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1559-1816.1992.tb01534.x/abstract) which cites the same 1987 paper.

co-orientation: "[the process of] lining up of attitudinal orientations
[toward shared topics] in a compatible way"

  * The [8th result](http://www.d2.dion.ne.jp/~pfriends/syakai.html) explains that 共同志向 is a term from a social psychology model, namely T. M. Newcomb's A-B-X system.
  * The definition above is given by [an encyclopedia](http://books.google.com/books?id=2veMwywplPUC&lpg=PA203&ots=7B8pKmYTLu&dq=%22co-orientation%22%20a-b-x%20system&pg=PA204#v=onepage&q=%22co-orientation%22%20a-b-x%20system&f=false) of communication theory that explains the A-B-X system.

Since the question context is about personality and the latter term is about
an objective process in a relationship, I guess "communal orientation" is the
source word for 共同志向性. So, the quiz can be asking how much you're willing to
give without expecting anything in exchange.

Some of the other Google results show usages outside the context of academic
psychology, like corporate mottos, but they're very few.
