We describe the development of a self-report measure (the Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure or IPSM). The IPSM generates a total score as well as five sub-scale scores: interpersonal awareness, need for approval, separation anxiety, timidity and fragile inner-self. Its reliability is demonstrated by high internal consistency in two separate groups, and by stability in scores over time in a non-clinical group. Studies of a clinical group of depressives showed change in scale scores following improvement in the depressive state, suggesting some sensitivity of the measure to mood state. The IPSM appears related to measures of neuroticism and to low self-esteem but not to a modified concept of neuroticism, emotional arousability. The constructs contributing to interpersonal sensitivity and their relevance to depression are considered. Some preliminary findings of higher scores in depressives compared to non-depressives are reported.
我们描述了一种自我报告测量方法（人际敏感性测量量表或IPSM）的开发。IPSM会生成一个总分以及五个子量表分数：人际意识、寻求认可的需求、分离焦虑、羞怯和脆弱的内在自我。其可靠性通过两个独立群体的高内部一致性以及非临床群体中分数随时间的稳定性得以证明。对抑郁症临床群体的研究表明，抑郁状态改善后量表分数会发生变化，这表明该测量方法对情绪状态具有一定敏感性。IPSM似乎与神经质测量和低自尊有关，但与神经质的一个修正概念——情绪易激惹性无关。我们考虑了导致人际敏感性的结构及其与抑郁症的相关性。报告了一些抑郁症患者得分高于非抑郁症患者的初步研究结果。
