AbstractThis submission contains data and codebooks from several personality studies conducted 1990-2017, organized by assessment instrument. For demographic information about the study participants, please refer to Background Information Questionnaire (BIQ) - Personality Studies (http://d-scholarship.pitt.edu/id/eprint/35424). Studies: 1. Interpersonal Functioning and Emotion in Borderline Personality ("Couples") (pre and post interaction) Description: (From Kiesler & Schmidt, 2006): The Impact Message Inventory (IMI) is a self-report transactional inventory designed to measure distinctive internal reactions, referred to as impact messages, that interactants experience to the full range of interpersonal behaviors indexed along the circumference of the interpersonal circle (Kiesler, 1983; Leary, 1957). Unique in examining the covert reactions evoked during interpersonal transactions (Wiggins, 1982), it assesses one person’s (the target individual’s) interpersonal behavior as experienced through the emotional and other reactions pulled from other individuals with whom he or she interacts (Kiesler, Schmidt, & Wagner, 1997). The inventory was constructed on the assumption that the interpersonal or evoking behavior of one person (A) can be validly characterized and measured by assessing the covert responses or “impact messages” of another person (B) who has interacted with or observed A. Person B (the respondent) fills out the inventory on Person A (the target). Items are organized into eight scales, which map onto the eight octants of the interpersonal circumplex: (friendly-dominant, dominant, hostile-dominant, hostile, hostile-submissive, submissive, friendly-submissive, friendly). Data Notes: Reliability: (Schmidt et al. 1999) Internal consistency for the octant scales (Friendly-Dominant, Dominant, Hostile-Dominant, Hostile, Hostile-Submissive, Submissive, Friendly-Submissive, Friendly) ranged from .69 to .89.
