This article examines integration types as a sub-dimension of the affect consciousness construct to account for individual differences in how problems with the experience and expression of affects manifest. The two integration types driven and lack of access describe prototypical ways of experiencing and expressing affect, differentiating between problems characterized by too much or too little affective mobilization.
Archival data from a non-clinical sample (n = 157) was used to examine the validity and reliability of integration type scales from the Affect Integration Inventory (AII 2.0). Internal structure was assessed through confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) by structural equation modelling. Nomological validity was examined through tests of patterns of hypothesized associations between integration types across various affects and specific types of interpersonal problems (as measured by the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems; IIP-64).
CFAs indicated acceptable fit for the different integration type scales and overall construct structure. Distinct sinusoidal patterns of correlations between integration types and interpersonal problems were found for the various affects examined. All correlation patterns had good fit (GoF ≥ 0.87), with significant differences in magnitude between peak and low point correlations.
We conclude that differences in prototypical ways of experiencing and expressing affects can be assessed easily, quickly, and reliably, have theoretically consistent intra-domain relationships and valid structural psychometric properties, are robustly related to interpersonal functioning in general, and are systematically and differentially related to specific and theoretically hypothesized interpersonal problem types.
本文将整合类型作为情感意识结构的一个子维度进行研究，以解释情感体验和表达问题的个体差异是如何表现出来的。驱动型和缺乏通达型这两种整合类型描述了情感体验和表达的典型方式，区分了以情感调动过多或过少为特征的问题。
使用来自非临床样本（n = 157）的档案数据来检验情感整合量表（AII 2.0）中整合类型量表的有效性和可靠性。通过结构方程建模的验证性因素分析（CFA）评估内部结构。通过检验各种情感的整合类型与特定类型人际问题（由人际问题量表；IIP - 64测量）之间的假设关联模式来检验效标效度。
CFA表明不同的整合类型量表和总体结构具有可接受的拟合度。在所研究的各种情感中，发现了整合类型与人际问题之间不同的正弦相关模式。所有相关模式都具有良好的拟合度（拟合优度≥0.87），峰值和低点相关性在大小上有显著差异。
我们得出结论，情感体验和表达的典型方式差异能够轻松、快速且可靠地进行评估，在理论上具有一致的领域内关系和有效的结构心理测量特性，总体上与人际功能密切相关，并且与特定的、理论上假设的人际问题类型存在系统的、有差异的关联。
