Abstract

The Interpersonal Adjective Scales [IAS; Wiggins, 1979; Wiggins, Trapnell and Phillips, 1988. Spanish version by A. Ávila (Wiggins, 1996)] assess interpersonal profiles of normal personality and has a strong conceptual structure which draws from relevant tradition in psychological research. Wiggins´s interpersonal circumplex and IAS have demonstrated an important clinical value, both in diagnostic and intervention. This study examined the IAS clinical properties, by means of analysis of interpersonal style differences between clinical and no clinical participants


We also analysed the interpersonal profiles and clinical significance. We found significant differences between clinical and no clinical participants on interpersonal style and clinicaldiagnostic meaning of IAS interpersonal profiles.
