接受-拒绝研究和清单通常考察儿童与父母的关系，但文献中没有测量量表来评估成年后亲密关系中的人际接受程度。成人人际接受-拒绝量表(AIARS)是在三项研究中使用成年参与者的独立样本进行开发、验证和心理测量学审查的。在研究1(N=342)中，将所创建的条目应用于参与者，并对数据进行探索性因素分析。母亲接纳、闺蜜接纳的相关三因素结构。而浪漫伴侣的接受也得到了初步支持。在研究2(N=420)中，验证性因素分析在删除负荷最差的项目后成功地交叉验证了三因素测量模型。在研究3(N=315)中，用相关性和多元回归检验了收敛效度、判别效度和标准效度。接受子量表得分越高，积极情绪越高，负面情绪越低，生活满意度越高。目前的研究提供了测量和评估洞察力来捕捉人际接纳的结构，并产生了应用于未来使用该量表的研究的启示。该量表的管理预计将鼓励新的初步调查，以检查成年后关键亲密关系的接受程度。
Acceptance-rejection studies and inventories commonly examine children's relationships with parents, but no measurement scale is available in the literature to assess interpersonal acceptance across adulthood close relationships. The Adult Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Scale (AIARS) was developed, validated, and psychometrically scrutinized across three studies using independent samples of adult participants. In Study 1 (N = 342), the created items were administered to participants and data were subjected to exploratory factor analysis. The correlated three-factor structure of Mother Acceptance, Best Friend Acceptance. and Romantic Partner Acceptance was preliminarily supported. In Study 2 (N = 420), confirmatory factor analysis successfully cross-validated the three-factor measurement model after the deletion of items possessing the poorest loadings. In Study 3 (N = 315), convergent, discriminant, and criterion validities were scrutinized with tests of correlations and multiple regression. Higher acceptance subscale scores uniquely contributed to higher positive emotions, lower negative emotions, and higher life satisfaction. The current research confers measurement and assessment insights to capture the construct of interpersonal acceptance and yields applied implications for future research using the scale. Administration of the scale is anticipated to encourage novel primary investigations that examine acceptance across pivotal close relationships in adulthood.
