The Relationship Patterns Questionnaire (RPQ) effectively assesses interpersonal dynamics in psychosomatic patients. Findings indicate less affection correlates with higher psychosocial distress, suggesting RPQ

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Psychiatry
  • Health Psychology

Background:

  • Assessing interpersonal relationship patterns is crucial in understanding psychosomatic disorders.
  • The Relationship Patterns Questionnaire (RPQ) was developed to evaluate an individual's behavior and their perception of a significant other's behavior within relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To psychometrically evaluate the Relationship Patterns Questionnaire (RPQ) in a sample of psychosomatic inpatients.
  • To examine the underlying circumplex structure of the RPQ and its correlation with other psychological measures.

Main Methods:

  • Psychometric examination of the RPQ using a sample of 160 psychosomatic inpatients.
  • Factorial analyses and correlational analyses with the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) and the Giessen Complaint List (GBB).

  • Psychosocial strain was assessed using the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R).

    • Main Results:

    • The circumplex structure of the RPQ was confirmed through factorial and correlational analyses.
    • No significant correlation was found between physical complaints (GBB) and relationship patterns.
    • A less affectionate relationship style was associated with greater psychosocial strains (SCL-90-R) on both self and object levels.

    Conclusions:

    • The RPQ demonstrates psychometric validity for assessing relationship patterns in psychosomatic patients.
    • Relationship affection, rather than specific physical complaints, is linked to psychosocial distress.
    • The study provides insights into the RPQ's utility and suggests directions for its further development.
