Abstract

In 2 studies, the Inclusion of Other in the Self (IOS) Scale, a single-item, pictorial measure of closeness, demonstrated alternate-form and test-retest reliability; convergent validity with the Relationship Closeness Inventory (Berscheid, Snyder, & Omoto, 1989), the Sternberg (1988) Intimacy Scale, and other measures; discriminant validity; minimal social desirability correlations; and predictive validity for whether romantic relationships were intact 3 months later

  • Study 3 included a validated scale of perceived overlap between self and other (IOS) as a measure of affiliation with ingroup and outgroup targets.

    “We also included a validated scale of perceived overlap between self and other (IOS) as a measure of affiliation with ingroup and outgroup targets.”

    From Existential threat and responses to emotional displays of ingroup and outgroup members (2023) · cites this paper as Aron et al., 1992

  • The a priori power analysis is based on the effect size d = 0.514 reported in test (i) of Kosfeld et al. and the requirement of a one-tailed test, which is justified when testing a directional hypothesis.

    “We base our a priori power analysis on the effect size d = 0.514, reported in test (i) of Kosfeld et al. 8 and the requirement of a one-tailed test, which is justified when testing a directional 38 hypothesis.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
