“…This result is a indicator that the general factor explains a greater proportion of item variance compared to the specific factors (Dominguez-Lara & Rodriguez, 2017), and is another indication of the relevance of the second-order model. This result is also supported by the theory, as in previous studies correlations were found between the classes of social skills, which are represented by the factors of different instruments in the area of social skills (Del Prette & Del Prette, 2010Del Prette et al, 2021).…”

With population aging, it is important to develop studies on psychological skills that can facilitate the task of caregivers of a dependent older adult. The Social Skills Inventory for Caregivers of the Elderly (SSI-CE) is an assessment tool for this purpose. Even considering that the instrument already has evidence of validity, the aim of this study is to seek additional evidence of validity for the SSI-CE. To this end, 533 family caregivers of older adults with an average age of 49.7 years were investigated by responding to the following instruments: Sociodemographic Questionnaire, Brazil Economic Classification Criteria, and SSI-CE. Initially, two factor models for the SSI-CE were compared (second-order and bifactor models). Then, analyses were performed for measurement invariance and sample heterogeneity of the SSI-CE in relation to the variables age, gender, presence of dementia in the elderly care receiver, and type of data collection (online or in-person). Finally, the instrument's reliability values were checked. After comparing the models, the second-order model was the most appropriate, as it displayed reliability values ranging from ω = 0.66 to ω = 0.89. In invariance analysis, variability was found for sample heterogeneity in the variables gender, presence of dementia, and type of data collection. In conclusion, the calculation of a global score for the SSI-CE is pertinent, with good evidence of internal validity. However, specific rules should be established, considering different sample characteristics.

“…An assessment based on different psychological, selfreport and projective tests, observing significant convergences and divergences, which results in an interpretation that contextualizes the findings, provides an incremental and complementary view of individual psychological functioning (Bornstein, 2017). In this perspective, empirical studies demonstrate the validity and applicability of the Social Skills Inventory, IHS-Del-Prette in employment and health contexts (Del Prette et al, 2020;Grazziotin & Scortegagna, 2018). The basis of validity and reliability indicators for a current version of the Social Skills Inventory (IHS2-Del Prette) mainly consists of Brazilian and international publications of studies that used the previous version of the IHS-Del Prette (Del Prette et al, 2020;Del Prette & Del Prette, 2018).…”

This study aimed to verify the reliability of the Zulliger test (ZSC) and the individuals' personality characteristics over 10 years (2009-2019), using a (test-retest) design. Four adults, non-patients, between 18 and 52 years of age participated in this study. Instruments: structured interview, the ZSC and the Social Skills Inventory (IHS2-Del-Prette). The analyses considered the interpretative differences of 59 ZSC variables between the first (2009) and second (2019) applications, the interview data and the IHS2-Del-Prette. The results demonstrated temporal stability for most (70%) of the variables of the ZSC after 10 years of testing and contemplated the main interpretative findings. The interview data and the IHS2-Del-Prette added to the data of the ZSC regarding the individuals' personality characteristics and emotional state.

“…In addition, social skills are also a class of different social behaviors that help individuals to cope with the interpersonal interaction process. In other words, social skills can contribute to positive interpersonal relationships, which then lead to better health, self-satisfaction, professional achievement, better teamwork, quality life, and respect for others [25,26]. Assertiveness is also one of the components in social skills.…”

This study is a needs analysis that aims to develop a psychosocial module based on a psychoeducation approach in order to strengthen the assertiveness, social skills, and psychological well-being of public university students in Malaysia. The specific objectives of this study were to identify the perceptions of university students on the need to design and build a psychosocial module, identify the constructs that should be included in the phase of designing and building of the psychosocial module as well as the support that has been received and the support that the students desire while on campus. This survey study utilized a questionnaire distributed to a total of 286 first year students studying at three public universities in Malaysia. The data obtained were analyzed by using descriptive statistics. The findings of the study showed a highly positive response from the students toward the development of a psychosocial module and the constructs listed in the questionnaire. Implications from this study can further solidify the constructs that should be included in the design and construction of the psychosocial module as well as identify the availability of the approaches, strategies, and support activities that have been received and desired by the students.
