Abstract

Personality is a complex construct that can be understood from various models. One of the models that has gained importance for its interpretation is the interpersonal circumplex model (IPC). The Children and Adolescents Interpersonal Survey (CAIS) is an instrument specifically developed for the study of this model in children and adolescents. This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the CAIS in an Argentinean sample of 353 participants. The reliability and validity of the instrument
were analysed. The results of this study indicate adequate internal consistency and item homogeneity, as well as evidence of construct validity (through an exploratory structural equation model) and concurrent validity (through Pearson’s r correlations with another measure of interpersonal traits). Thus establishing the Spanish version of the CAIS as a reliable and valid instrument for the assessment of interpersonal styles in children and adolescents in Argentina.
