One of the key components of the invitational model (Purkey, 1978; Purkey & Novak, 1984; Purkey Schmidt, 1987; Purkey & Stanley, 1991) is that individuals who are intentionally respectful, trusting, and optimistic towards both themselves and others, personally and professionally, are most likely to move towards optimal human growth and wellness. Actions that exhibit these qualities are known as "inviting" behaviors; while actions that devalue, dehumanize, or disrespect the self or others are known as "disinviting" behaviors (Purkey & Schmidt, 1987).
