The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of two instruments: the Self-Other Profile Chart (SOPC) derived from one model of Relational Competence Theory (RCT) and the How You View Your Self (HYVYS) derived from the Elementary Pragmatic Model (EPM). These two instruments were administered together with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Inventory (BPRI) to two samples of women and men with and without psychiatric diagnoses. Scores in both instruments demonstrated statistically significant test-retest reliabilities and correlated highly with scores on the BPRI. These results tend to support the concurrent validity of both instruments and add more evidence to the theoretical significance of the models they represent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
