Abstract

This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-32 (IIP-32), the most widely used instrument to measure relational difficulties. A sample of 2128 participants completed the IIP-32 and two additional measures of interpersonal difficulties before starting a psychotherapy treatment. To evaluate reliability, we analyzed internal consistency and item homogeneity. We analyzed the construct validity of IIP-32 through a confirmatory factor analysis and the concurrent validity through correlations between the IIP-32 and other measures of interpersonal deficits. The results of the study show excellent internal consistency and homogeneity of the items in the IIP-32. Furthermore, the results show construct validity as well as concurrent validity of the instrument. In sum, the results of this paper rank the IIP-32 as a reliable and valid instrument with important clinical implications to measure interpersonal difficulties in Argentina.
