REVISED INTERPERSONAL ADJECTIVE SCALES (IAS-R): THE CZECH TRANSLATION OF THE QUESTIONNAIRE AND ITS APPLICATION IN A PILOT STUDY
Abstract
The paper deals with the first translation of the IAS-R psychological test (Revised Interpersonal Adjective Scale by J. S. Wiggins) and its application during the pilot study at the Faculty of Education at the University of South Bohemia. The Interpersonal Adjective Scales provides an efficient and structurally precise measure of major dimensions that underlie interpersonal transactions: Dominance (DOM) and Nurturance (LOV). Furthermore, eight octants are defined within the 64 scaled items that describe specific personal and interpersonal characteristics. This is done within the framework of the circumplex-based interpersonal theory, used e.g. in the Interpersonal Check List test by T. Leary. The original English language version of IAS-R is not only widely used for diagnostic purposes but has also been utilised in a number of research studies facilitating its standardisation and application. That is why it was deemed desirable to prepare a Czech version of the test and apply it in a pilot study. The paper introduces both the theoretical basis of the IAS-R test and the process of the creation of its Czech version. Furthermore, it presents psychometric data gained from 98 subjects. The results are commented on and are complemented by a discussion on the possible application of the test in the context of contemporary psychodiagnostics.
