“…In a mixed clinical/nonclinical sample, lower levels of AC were associated with more self-reported self-image disturbances and interpersonal problems as assessed by the Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB; Benjamin, 1987) and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems-Circumplex (IIP-C; Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureno, & Villasenor, 1988), respectively (Lech, Andersson, & Holmqvist, 2008). Correspondingly, in a previous study based on the present PD sample (Normann-Eide, Johansen, Normann-Eide, Egeland, & Wilberg, 2013), we found that low AC strongly related to poor self-esteem, measured by the Index of Self-Esteem (ISE; Hudson, 1982), as well as to interpersonal problems, as assessed by the IIP-C. An association between low AC and more severe self-related and interpersonal problems, as measured by self-report on the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI; Havik, 1993), observer-rated quality of relationships, and the IIP, has also previously been described (Monsen, Eilertsen, Melgård, & Ødegård, 1996;Solbakken, Hansen, Havik, & Monsen, 2011).…”
