Researchers developed the 92-item Pursuing-Distancing (P-D) Scale to measure interpersonal behaviors. This new scale shows evidence of reliability and validity, aiding further personality theory research.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Personality Theory
  • Social Psychology

Background:

  • Interpersonal dynamics of pursuing and distancing behaviors are recognized but lack formal measurement.
  • Previous absence of a reliable and valid scale hindered clinical and theoretical investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Pursuing-Distancing (P-D) Scale.
  • To provide a psychometric tool for assessing interpersonal pursuing and distancing behaviors.
  • To facilitate research on personality theory and clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a 92-item scale assessing behavioral expressions of pursuing and distancing.
  • Statistical analysis to provide evidence for internal consistency.
  • Evaluation of internal support for construct validity.

Main Results:

  • The 92-item Pursuing-Distancing (P-D) Scale demonstrated internal consistency.
  • Evidence supporting the construct validity of the P-D Scale was established.
  • A revised 80-item version is available for further external validation studies.

Conclusions:

  • The Pursuing-Distancing (P-D) Scale offers a reliable and valid measure of interpersonal behaviors.
  • This scale can advance research in personality theory and clinical psychology.
  • Ongoing validation efforts are expected to further establish the scale's utility.
