  • Statistical analyses examined agreement, discrepancy, and symptomatology.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant agreement was found in characterizing interpersonal problems between self and partner ratings.
    • The association between self-partner discrepancy and symptomatology was gender-dependent.
    • Preliminary evidence supported the psychometric properties and circular structure of the IIP observer form.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-partner agreement extends to interpersonal problems, mirroring findings in personality assessment.
    • Interpersonal perception accuracy and its relation to psychological distress are influenced by gender.
    • The observer form of the IIP shows promise as a reliable measure for assessing interpersonal issues.
