“…However, Heinrichs et al (2006) noted that the clinical presentation of social phobia is often consistent between German-speaking cultures and the United States as well as other European countries. Similarly, interpersonal subtypes in GAD have been replicated across both English-and German-speaking populations (e.g., Salzer et al, 2008). Taken together, these findings suggest that our results may generalize across the United State and Europe; however, future research should examine interpersonal subtypes in social phobia across cultures.…”

“…A number of investigations have found that individual differences in interpersonal problems exhibit pathoplastic relationships with mental disorders (e.g., Kasoff & Pincus, 2002;Pincus & Borkovec, 1994;Przeworski et al, 2010;Salzer et al, 2008), pathological symptoms (e.g., Ambwani & Hopwood, 2009;Hopwood, Clarke, & Perez, 2007), and maladaptive traits (e.g., Slaney, Pincus, Uliaszek, & Wang, 2006;Wright, Pincus, Conroy, & Elliot, 2009). For example, Kachin et al (2001) examined interpersonal pathoplasticity in 60 undergraduates diagnosed with social phobia using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule-IV (Brown, DiNardo, & Barlow, 1994).…”

“…Differences in interpersonal diagnosis will affect the manner in which patients express their distress and will influence the type of interpersonal situation they feel is needed to regulate their self, affect, and relationships . 516 CAIN, PINCUS, GROSSE HOLTFORTH Kachin et al (2001), Salzer et al (2008), andElliot (2009) have described procedures to determine the presence of a pathoplastic relationship using the IIP-C. If patients with a particular disorder are not defined by a uniform interpersonal profile on the IIP-C, nor are they defined by a complete lack of systematic interpersonal expression, then it is necessary to examine whether a pathoplastic relationship exists.…”

Interpersonal assessment may provide a clinically useful way to identify subtypes of social phobia. In this study, we examined evidence for interpersonal subtypes in a sample of 77 socially phobic outpatients. A cluster analysis based on the dimensions of dominance and love on the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex Scales (Alden, Wiggins, Pincus, 1990) found 2 interpersonal subtypes of socially phobic patients. These subtypes did not differ on pretreatment global symptom severity as measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (Derogatis, 1993) or diagnostic comorbidity but did exhibit differential responses to outpatient psychotherapy. Overall, friendly-submissive social phobia patients had significantly lower scores on measures of social anxiety and significantly higher scores on measures of well-being and satisfaction at posttreatment than cold-submissive social phobia patients. We discuss the results in terms of interpersonal theory and the clinical relevance of assessment of interpersonal functioning prior to beginning psychotherapy with socially phobic patients.

“…Due to methodological and reporting limitations of many of these studies, conclusions regarding profile descriptors are difficult to draw. In general, these studies suggest that major depressive disorder has a nonassertive and socially avoidant style (Barrett and Barber, 2007;Dinger et al, 2015;Grosse Holtforth et al, 2014;Locke et al, 2016;Quilty et al, 2013;Stangier et al, 2006), social phobia has a nonassertive style (Cain et al, 2010;Kachin et al, 2001;Stangier et al, 2006), and generalized anxiety disorder has an exploitable style (Przeworski et al, 2011;Salzer et al, 2008Salzer et al, , 2011. These disorders also seem to have marked elevation.…”

We examined the relationship between psychopathology and interpersonal problems in a sample of 825 clinical and community participants. Sixteen psychiatric diagnoses and five transdiagnostic dimensions were examined in relation to self-reported interpersonal problems. The structural summary method was used with the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales to examine interpersonal problem profiles for each diagnosis and dimension. We built a structural model of mental disorders including factors corresponding to detachment (avoidant personality, social phobia, major depression), internalizing (dependent personality, borderline personality, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress, major depression), disinhibition (antisocial personality, drug dependence, alcohol dependence, borderline personality), dominance (histrionic personality, narcissistic personality, paranoid personality), and compulsivity (obsessivecompulsive personality). All dimensions showed good interpersonal prototypicality (e.g., detachment was defined by a socially avoidant/nonassertive interpersonal profile) except for internalizing, which was diffusely associated with elevated interpersonal distress. The findings for individual disorders were largely consistent with the dimension that each disorder loaded on, with the exception of the internalizing and dominance disorders, which were interpersonally heterogeneous. These results replicate previous findings and provide novel insights into social dysfunction in psychopathology by wedding the power of hierarchical (i.e., dimensional) modeling and interpersonal circumplex assessment.

“…For example, Slaney, Pincus, Uliaszek and Wang (2006) found high interpersonal profile elevation in individuals with maladaptive perfectionism. Salzer et al (2008) found interpersonal rigidity in patients with generalized anxiety. Later, Couto, Vandenberghe, and Brito (2012) related hostility with interpersonal stress.…”

Interpersonal interactions as social processes reflect and influence individuals' mental health. The aim of the study was to verify how marital interactions relate to mental health, and to investigate evidence for the validity of the Checklist for Interpersonal Transactions II (CLOIT-II). Participants were 169 couples from the southeast of the Brazilian state of Goiás, aged between 18 and 55 years (M = 21; SD = 5.48). They responded to a General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and the CLOIT-II. Participants with low mental health problem scores in the GHQ (asymptomatic participants) tended to occupy interpersonal positions in the range between Deference/Trust and Affective warmth/Friendliness. In the group with high scores (symptomatic participants), interactions were defined by Coldness/Hostility. Mental health problems were positively correlated with mistrust, coldness and hostility and negatively correlated with positions of Affiliation. These results, in addition to supporting the validity of the CLOIT-II, indicate that the study of interpersonal relationships is relevant for the understanding of mental health.
