Abstract
This study validated the Italian version of the Tendency for Interpersonal Victimhood (TIV), originally developed by Gabay et al. (2020). The TIV assesses a personality trait across four dimensions: Need for Recognition, Moral Elitism, Rumination, and Lack of Empathy, which are crucial for understanding interpersonal dynamics and emotional regulation in various psychological contexts. Data from 1254 participants (56.5 % female, aged 18–70) confirmed a hierarchical model with one latent dimension and four method dimensions and high reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.84–0.91). Strong correlations with depressive rumination and anger rumination supported its convergent validity. The Italian TIV is a promising tool for research and clinical use in the assessment of the tendency for interpersonal victimhood trait in relation to emotional well-being, conflict resolution, and interpersonal violence. Further studies should test its stability and applicability in diverse populations.
