Using a sample of 315 adult men and women, self-reports on Wiggins's revised Interpersonal Adjective Scales were jointly factored with self-reports, peer ratings, and spouse ratings on the NEO Personality Inventory to examine the relations between the two models. Results suggest that the interpersonal circumplex is defined by the two dimensions of Extraversion and Agreeableness, and that the circular ordering of variables is not an artifact of response biases or cognitive schemata. Circumplex and dimensional models appear to complement each other in describing the structure of personality, and both may be useful to social psychologists in understanding interpersonal behavior.
以315名成年男性和女性为样本，对威金斯修订的人际形容词量表的自我报告与对大五人格量表的自我报告、同伴评分和配偶评分进行联合因素分析，以检验这两种模型之间的关系。结果表明，人际环形模型由外向性和宜人性两个维度定义，变量的环形排序不是反应偏差或认知图式的人为产物。环形模型和维度模型在描述人格结构方面似乎相互补充，两者对社会心理学家理解人际行为可能都有用。
