人际敏感度测量（IPSM）被开发用于评估对人际拒绝的超敏性，这是抑郁倾向人格的一种建议特征（Aust NZ J Psychiatry 23（1989）341）。虽然IPSM和人际拒绝敏感性的研究主要是在抑郁人群中进行的，但重要的是要研究人际拒绝敏感性作为评估社交焦虑的相关结构。本研究探讨了心理测量学的特点，IPSM在寻求治疗的个人与社交焦虑障碍。研究结果支持了IPSM在社交焦虑个体中的聚合效度、发散效度和内部一致性。探索性因素分析的规模后，也进行了原始的因素和分量表结构被证明是一个穷人适合目前的数据。三个因素（人际关系的担忧和依赖，低自尊，和不自信的人际关系行为），并保留了29个项目。因为他们在因子2上表现出负因子负荷，所以建议将原始IPSM的四个项目的评分颠倒过来。总之，修订后的IPSM评估了人际拒绝敏感性的三个方面，似乎是一个有效和可靠的工具，其评估社交焦虑障碍。(C)2002爱思唯尔科技有限公司版权所有。
The Interpersonal Sensitivity Measure (IPSM) was developed to assess hypersensitivity to interpersonal rejection, a suggested trait of depression-prone personality (Aust NZ J Psychiatry 23 (1989) 341). Although studies of the IPSM and interpersonal rejection sensitivity have primarily been conducted in depressed populations, it is important to investigate interpersonal rejection sensitivity as a relevant construct in the assessment of social anxiety. This study examined the psychometric properties of the IPSM in treatment-seeking individuals with social anxiety disorder. The results of this investigation support the convergent and divergent validity and internal consistency of the IPSM in socially anxious individuals. An exploratory factor analysis of the scale was also conducted after the original factor and subscale structure was shown to be a poor fit for the present data. Three factors emerged (Interpersonal Worry and Dependency, Low Self-Esteem, and Unassertive Interpersonal Behavior), and 29 items were retained. Because they demonstrated negative factor loadings on Factor 2, it is suggested that the scoring for four items of the original IPSM be reversed. In summary, the revised IPSM assesses three aspects of interpersonal rejection sensitivity and appears to be a valid and reliable instrument for its assessment in social anxiety disorder.
