CSIE

Thank you for your interest the Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Efficacy (CSIE). The CSIE is a 32-item inventory designed to complement existing interpersonal circumplex measures by efficiently assessing confidence that one can engage in variety of interpersonal behaviors. The eight 4-item scales of the CSIE appear to have a circumplex structure, adequate internal reliability, and convergent validity with measures of interpersonal values and interpersonal problems. A description of the development and psychometrics of the CSIE can be found in the following article:

Locke, K.D. & Sadler, P. (2007). Self-efficacy, values, and complementarity in dyadic interactions: Integrating interpersonal and social-cognitive theory. Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 33, 94-109.

You are free to administer the CSIE as you wish, with my one request being that you make an effort to give me feedback about what you find to be its strengths and weaknesses.

You can take the CSIE on-line by clicking the "Take the CSIE" button to the left. (Note: The feedback will be more meaningful to you if you are already familiar with the interpersonal circumplex model. Your computer must be able to run java, which you can download here.).
