Developing the Interpersonal Problem Solving Inventory (IPSI): the Validity and Reliability Process
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a scale that assess the interpersonal problem solving skills of individuals. The data for this study are collected by using a initial form of a 90-itemed Interpersonal Problem Solving Inventory from the sample of 526 graduate and undergraduate university students (aged between 18 to 30), who have been attending different education programs at various departments at Çukurova University. The results of explanatory factor analysis show that the scale consists
of five interpersonal problem solving dimensions. These five dimensions are called; 1.Approaching problems in a negative way, 2.Constructive problem solving, 3.Lack of self-confidence, 4.Unwilling to take responsibility, and 5. Insistent-persevering approach sub-scales. For the criterion validity it has been found that the scale has a relationship with the PSI and the STAI-T. The internal consistency values of Cronbach alfa for the sub-scales are found between .67 and .91; the test-retest reliability is found between .69 and .89. The scale consist of 50 items constructed in a form of 5-point scale. The results of the
study indicated that the scale can be used to measure problem
solving skills of university students aged between 18 to 30 years old.
