The relation of the general factor of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP, Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureno, & Villasenor, 1988) to several response set and personality measures as well its relation to the circumplex structure was examined. The correlation of the IIP general factor to the personality and response measures was examined on a sample of 105 undergraduates. The general factor was significantly related to a symptom severity measure as well as negative affectivity and self-deception, supporting its interpretation in a substantive manner. Subsequently, the circular structure of the IIP was examined as it varied across different levels of the general factor in a sample of 1093 college students. The sample was divided into five relatively equally sized groups on the general factor. At each level, the IIP scales were examined for their circularity and circular variance accounted for to determine if the structure of the IIP scales resembled a cylinder, a sphere, or a truncated cone. Evaluations of both the circular order model and the circumplex model supported the circularity of the IIP at all levels of the general factor. Support for the cone structure was supported for lower levels of the general distress factor but higher levels did not demonstrate the expected increased correlational dispersion.
人际问题量表（IIP，霍洛维茨、罗森伯格、贝尔、乌雷诺和维拉塞诺，1988）的一般因素与几种反应定势和人格测量指标的关系，以及它与环形结构的关系得到了检验。在105名本科生样本中检验了IIP一般因素与人格及反应测量指标的相关性。该一般因素与症状严重程度测量指标以及消极情感性和自我欺骗显著相关，从实质意义上支持了对其的解释。随后，在1093名大学生样本中，考察了IIP的环形结构在一般因素不同水平上的变化情况。根据一般因素将样本分为五个规模相对均等的组。在每个水平上，对IIP量表的环形性进行检验，并计算环形方差，以确定IIP量表的结构类似于圆柱体、球体还是截头圆锥体。对环形顺序模型和环形模型的评估均支持IIP在一般因素所有水平上的环形性。对于较低水平的一般困扰因素，支持圆锥体结构，但较高水平并未表现出预期的相关性离散增加。
