IOA: De
Inventarisatielijst Omgaan
met Anderen / ISS:
Inventory of Interpersonal
Situations
The Inventory of Interpersonal
Situations (ISS; in Dutch IOA) is
based on an interactive concept of
social anxiety. It takes about 20
minutes to complete.
The ISS consists of 35
interpersonal situations, which
are responses in social situations
rated with 5-point Likert scales.
Subjects first indicate how much
‘anxiety/discomfort’ they would
experience (social anxiety) in
these situations and then how
‘frequent’ they would perform the
behaviour described (social
skills). The Discomfort and
Frequency scale consist of the
same 35 items and the following 5
subscales: giving criticism (items
2, 8, 10, 21, 25, 31 and 33),
expressing opinions (items 14, 16,
20, 30, 32 and 34), giving
compliments (items 9, 17, 23 and
24), initiating contacts (items 1,
12, 13, 15 and 29), positive
self-evaluation (items 4, 26, 27
and 28).
The reliability and validity of
the ISS were investigated in
several adult psychiatric and
non-psychiatric samples. The
scales and subscales for
Discomfort and Frequency showed
stability over time and high
internal consistency. The
conceptual structure was shown to
be rather invariant across
socially anxious and non socially
anxious groups. In addition, the
study on the item and factorial
invariance of the ISS revealed
stable rank ordering as well as
clustering of social responses on
Discomfort and Frequency. The ISS
scales were able to discriminate
between socially anxious/social
phobic and non socially anxious
samples, and showed significant
relationships with independent
measures of social anxiety. The
ISS scales demonstrated high
predictive validity for overt
behaviour in social situations.
For the use of the ISS in clinical
practice the individual’s score
could be compared with those of
reference groups, as there are
socially anxious psychiatric
patients, forensic psychiatric
patients, heterogeneous
psychiatric patients, and normal
persons. Several cross-cultural
studies with the ISS/IOA were
undertaken to assess the
equivalence of the inventory in
American, Turkish and Indonesian
populations (see also Kraaimaat et
a., 2002; Van Dam-Baggen et al.,
2003; Kraaimaat et al., 2012). The
Dutch IOA manual and the IOA
inventory are available at Pearson
Publishers (www.pearson-nl.com).
