A Short Form of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumples Scales
Abstract
The 127-item Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) has proven useful in capturing clinically important aspects of client's interpersonal functioning. Alden, Wiggins, and Pincus constructed a 64-item circumplex form of the IIP (IIP-C). We found that an even shorter form was needed for situations involving the screening of patients in a brief time. We, therefore, constructed a 32-item short circumplex form (IIP-SC). This form was found to exhibit excellent internal consistency reliability and strong test-retest correlations in three outpatient samples. It was found to correlate highly with the longer forms of the IIP and to show similar treatment responsiveness to them. The IIP-SC has also been demonstrated to correspond closely to the circumplex model of interpersonal behavior. The IIP-SC is, thus, an adequate substitute for the complete IIP in settings where brevity is important.

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.
