Measures in the day hospital. II. The interpersonal behavior survey.

Abstract

This study explored the use of the Interpersonal Behavior Survey (IBS) with a day hospital population. The patients completed the IBS in such a way as to suggest potential deficits in a variety of assertiveness skills and potential excesses in two areas of aggressiveness. Moreover, the IBS was correlated with measures of psychological distress, suggesting the relevance for training in social skills for this population.
