“…The 59 students who were present at both of the administrations were included in the analyses. This sample size (i.e., n = 59) is bigger than that used by Buhrmester et al (1988) to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the ICQ (n = 31) in their original article, and it is consistent with current recommendations (e.g., Hertzog, 2008;Walter, Eliasziw, & Donner, 1998) and practice (e.g., Calamia, Markon, & Tranel, 2013;Paiva et al, 2014) in psychology and medicine. Age ranged from 19 to 34 years (M = 22.5; SD = 2.1), most of them (49, i.e., 83.1%)…”

Abstract:Interpersonal competence is crucial to human life, and poor social functioning is a typical feature of various psychopathological conditions. Given the relevance of the construct, increasing attention has recently been paid to the Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire (ICQ; Buhrmester et al., 1988), a 40-item self-report measuring five domains of interpersonal competence. To provide additional data on the cross-cultural adaptability of the ICQ, we developed an Italian version and investigated its psychometric properties with two independent student samples. Respondents were mostly women (about three quarters), ranging in age from 18 to 57. Study 1 (n = 408) tested factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity. Study 2 (n = 59) investigated test-retest reliability. Taken together, the results of both these studies provided support for the cross-cultural applicability of the ICQ, and revealed interesting associations between interpersonal competence and constructs such as well-being, emotion dysregulation and empathy. Powered by Editorial Manager® and ProduXion Manager® from Aries Systems CorporationDear Dr. Iselin, Thank you or the opportunity to revise and resubmit our manuscript "Validity and Reliability of the Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire: Empirical Evidence from an Italian Study" which had been JOBA-D-15-00032. We appreciate the input provided by you and the four reviewers and believe it has substantially enhanced the contribution our manuscript can make to the literature. Below we have copied your decision letter followed by the reviews and to each point made we provide a description of how we addressed the issue or a rationale for why we did not in the rare instance when that was applicable. Our comments to you and the reviewers are designated with "Reply:" at the start of the paragraph.Thank you and best wishes on behalf of all co-authors, (First Author)Dear Dr. XXXX:Thank you for your recent submission of the above referenced manuscript to the Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment. The review process on your manuscript is now complete. I was fortunate to receive the input of four reviewers who have expertise in this area of research, and I have reviewed the manuscript in detail.There are a number of strengths in your manuscript. It is well-written and contributes to our knowledge on interpersonal competence, which is of interest to our readership. We also had concerns about your manuscript which are outlined below. As you know, acceptance of a manuscript for publication in the Journal of Psychopathology and Behavioral Assessment requires a favorable evaluation from all reviewers. Based upon the reviews, I regret that I cannot currently accept the manuscript for publication. I would, however, like to invite you to submit a revision that addresses our concerns. In that revision, please pay special attention to the following:• Address questions about whether the ICQ is measuring a general interpersonal construct rather than specific interpersonal skills.Re...

The aim of this study was to develop a culturally adapted and validated Bangla version of Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI-B) questionnaire for use in Bangla speaking caregiver of patient with dementia. This study was conducted on 100 caregivers related to consecutively attending outpatients with a previously established primary diagnosis of dementia, according to DSM-IV criteria. Validity and reliability were evaluated by comparing with the caregiver burden inventory (CBI). An exploratory factor analysis with the principle component with varimax rotation was used to detect the factorial structure in observed measurements. To attain the best-fitting structure and the correct number of factors, the following criteria were used: Eigen values >1.0, factor loadings >0.30. The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.847 for test and 0.839 retest. The intra-class correlation for the test-retest reliability was 0.89. The ZBI score was highly correlated with the CBI score (Pearson's correlation coefficient, r = 0.909, p = 0.001). From the exploratory factor analysis six factors comprising 20 items were extracted with Eigen values higher than 1.00 accounting for 69% of the total item variance. In conclusion, ZBI-B is valid, reliable and useful for use in clinical contexts and in future studies that could lead to a better understanding of caregiver burden in dementia.

“…Following unfavorable findings in the systematic reviews [5,6], a recent call for higher standards of conducting and reporting test-retest study was made [7][8][9]. This study investigates for the first time the test-retest reliability of the HeartQoL (original English version) in accordance with guidelines from the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health status Measurement Instruments (COS-MIN) [8,10] and Guideline for Reporting Reliability and Agreement Studies (GRRAS) [7].…”
