“…Social support from family remains constant while support from expanding friendships increases; along with this widening social network, episodes of interpersonal conflict also increase. The theoretical definitions associated with the IPRI (Tilden et al, 1990a) are consistent with the literature describing social support and conflict during early adolescence.…”

“…Tilden et al (1990a) reported that the basis of the IPRI was a combination of social exchange theory (Cook, 1987) and equity theory (Messick & Cook, 1983). These theories together provide a broad perspective on interpersonal relationships involving the benefits of social networks, such as social support, and reciprocal exchanges of emotional and tangible resources, as well as the reciprocal costs and burdens engendered by social networks, such as conflict.…”

“…In the development of the IPRI, Tilden et al (1990a) defined social support as “the perceived availability or enactment of helping behaviors by members of the social network” (p. 338), and conflict as “perceived discord or stress in relationships caused by behaviors of others, or the absence of behaviors of others, such as the withholding of help” (p. 338). Developmental theorists (Brinthaupt & Lipka, 2002; Collins & Laursen, 1992; Finkenauer, Engels, Meeus, & Oosterwegel, 2002; Larson & Richards, 1994) have asserted that early adolescence is a phase of heightened affective intensity in interpersonal relationships.…”

“…Over the past several decades, social support has remained an important variable in nursing research (Downs, 1989; Hegyvary, 2004), and nurse researchers have developed instruments to measure social support. One such instrument is the Interpersonal Relationship Inventory (IPRI) developed by Tilden, Nelson, and May (1990a); the long form measures social support, reciprocity, and conflict, and the short form measures social support and conflict. Tilden et al provided evidence of reliability and validity for the IPRI with adult samples; only evidence of reliability has been reported for adolescents (Gauvin, Vandal, Mercier, & Bradet, 2002; Mahon & Yarcheski, 2001, 2002).…”

The purposes of this methodological study were to factor analyze the short form of the Tilden Interpersonal Relationship Inventory (IPRI) for early adolescents, and to assess construct validity of the social support and conflict subscales with early adolescents. The sample consisted of 147 early adolescents, aged 12-14, who completed instrument packets in classrooms in a suburban middle school. Data obtained on the IPRI were subjected to principal components factor analysis with Varimax rotation. The two factors that emerged are consistent with the theories underlying the instrument. Factor I was social support, and had a coefficient alpha reliability of .90. Factor II was conflict, and had a coefficient alpha reliability of .86. Construct validity was assessed by testing hypotheses derived from theoretical propositions linking support or conflict to general humor, self-esteem, and symptom patterns; the results of the hypotheses were statistically significant and in the predicted direction. The findings indicate that the social support and conflict subscales of the IPRI have evidence of reliability and validity for early adolescents.

“…Each item assesses the number of people in the social support network and the anticipated satisfaction with this support. The social support subscale of the Interpersonal Relationship Inventory (IPRI) [20], administered in phase 2, contains 13 items measuring perceived availability of support. In the present study, total scores on these three measures were reduced by principal-components analysis to a social support factor (eigenvalue = 1.85), accounting for 61.7% of the variance.…”

Background: Off-target verbosity (OTV), defined as prolific speech that is lacking in focus, is exhibited by relatively few older adults, but increases in prevalence with age. Objective/Methods: The hypothesis that a high level of OTV is associated with declining competence in other aspects of everyday life was examined in 142 older adults, previously screened for the level of OTV. Competence was assessed based on self-reported changes since age 50 years in quality and quantity of engagement in eleven domains of instrumental and voluntary activities of everyday life. Results: Path models indicated that a high level of OTV was associated with a decreased competence in everyday activities and was indirectly linked, through competence, with lower well-being and greater loneliness. With competence level controlled, a high level of OTV directly predicted less loneliness. Conclusions: These findings support the hypothesis that a high level of OTV is symptomatic of a more general decline in competence and of less successful aging. However, a high level of OTV also entails a strong motivation for talking to others and thus may offer protection against loneliness.
