Abstract
The scales of the Person's Relating to Others Questionnaire correspond to the octants of an octagon constructed around a horizontal, close/distant axis, a vertical, upper/lower one, and four intermediate positions. The questionnaire was administered to 276 non-patients and 432 psychotherapy patients. All scales had good internal reliabilities. There were high positive correlations between some neighbouring scales, and moderate negative correlations between some opposite ones. A principal component analysis of scores, with a four component solution, generated a lower, an upper, a close/distant and an upper close component. A PCA of items, with an eight component solution, strongly supported the close, distant, upper, lower and upper close scales. For the non-patients, women were more upper close and men were more distant. For the patients, women were additionally more close, lower close and lower distant. The patients scored higher on all but the upper close and upper distant scales. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
