Normative studies with the Scale for Interpersonal Behaviour (SIB): III. Psychiatric inpatients
Personality and Individual Differences, 2005Co-Authors: Willem A. Arrindell, Alma Akkerman, Jan Van Der Ende, Paul J. G. Schreurs, Annet Brugman, Roy E. Stewart, Antoinette L. Bouhuys, Netty Van Ooijen, K. Robert Bridges, Robbert SandermanAbstract:The Scale for Interpersonal Behaviour (SIB), a multidimensional self-report measure of difficulty and distress in state assertiveness, was psychometrically evaluated in a large sample comprising 1242 unselected psychiatric inpatients. In addition to an overall measure of Assertion, the SIB contains four factorially-derived dimensions: (I) Negative Assertion, (II) expression of and dealing with personal limitations, (III) initiating assertiveness, and (IV) positive Assertion. The factors were originally interpreted in data of 703 members of a society for phobic individuals. Evidence is presented on the factorial constancy of the SIB measuring constructs across samples, biological sex, age, and educational level. Outstanding internal consistency figures are also given. Construct validity is established in a subset of the inpatients in relation to the Assertion Self-Statement Test-Revised. Both descriptive and specialized norms are presented for psychiatric inpatients.

Sex differences in assetiveness on the U.S. version of the Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB)
Personality and Individual Differences, 2002Co-Authors: K. Robert Bridges, Robbert Sanderman, Peter Breukers, Adelita V. Ranchor, Willem A. ArrindellAbstract:Abstract The present study describes the first experience in the U.S.A. with the Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB), a multidimensional self-report measure of difficulty and distress in assertiveness originally devised in the Netherlands. The U.S. SIB was administered to 548 undergraduate students and analyses focused on determining several of its reliability aspects and sex differences in assertiveness. Reliability figures were very encouraging. The majority of the 10 SIB dimensions showed no meaningful sex differences that had important practical, normative implications. However, future normative studies with the SIB in North America should take into account the fact that female students are more assertive (i.e. show less behavioral avoidance) than their male counterparts when expressing and dealing with personal limitations, whereas male students are more assertive (i.e. experience less distress) than female students when displaying Negative Assertion.

normative studies with the scale for interpersonal behaviour sib ii us students a cross cultural comparison with dutch data
Behaviour Research and Therapy, 2001Co-Authors: Willem A. Arrindell, Robert K Bridges, Jan Van Der Ende, Janet S St Lawrence, Lisa Grayshellberg, Richard J Harnish, Richard L Rogers, Robbert SandermanAbstract:The Scale for Interpersonal Behaviour (SIB), a multidimensional, self-report measure of state assertiveness, was administered to a nationwide sample of 2375 undergraduates enrolled at 11 colleges and universities across the USA. The SIB was developed in the Netherlands for the independent assessment of both distress associated with self-Assertion in a variety of social situations and the likelihood of engaging in a specific assertive response. This is done with four factorially-derived, first-order dimensions: (i) Display of Negative feelings (Negative Assertion); (ii) Expression of and dealing with personal limitations; (iii) Initiating assertiveness; and (iv) Praising others and the ability to deal with compliments/praise of others (Positive Assertion). The present study was designed to determine the cross-national invariance of the original Dutch factors and the construct validity of the corresponding dimensions. It also set out to develop norms for a nationwide sample of US students. The results provide further support for the reliability, factorial and construct validity of the SIB. Compared to their Dutch equivalents, US students had meaningfully higher distress in assertiveness scores on all SIB scales (medium to large effect sizes), whereas differences on the performance scales reflected small effect sizes. The cross-national differences in distress scores were hypothesized to have originated from the American culture being more socially demanding with respect to interpersonal competence than the Dutch, and from the perceived threats and related cognitive appraisals that are associated with such demands.

Normative studies with the Scale for Interpersonal Behaviour (SIB): I. Nonpsychiatric social skills trainees
Personality and Individual Differences, 1999Co-Authors: Willem A. Arrindell, Jan Van Der Ende, Roy E. Stewart, Robbert Sanderman, L. Oosterhof, M.m LingsmaAbstract:Abstract The Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB) ( Arrindell and Van der Ende, 1985 ) is a multidimensional self-report measure of state assertiveness. The SIB measures both discomfort (anxiety) associated with self-Assertion in specific situations and the likelihood of engaging in a specific assertive response (performance). This is achieved with an overall measure and four factorially-derived scales: (I) Display of Negative feelings (Negative Assertion), (II) Expression of and dealing with personal limitations, (III) Initiating assertiveness and (IV) Praising others and the ability to deal with compliments/praise of others (Positive Assertion). To enhance its application, the SIB was psychometrically evaluated in a sample comprising 562 female and male junior and senior executives (managers) who had voluntarily applied for social skills training in a (nonpsychiatric) commercial guidance center. Findings on factorial invariance and measurement reliability were outstanding. Normative data and sex differences were presented. Compared to their male counterparts, female managers reported higher mean levels of assertive responding on the dimensions of Positive Assertion, Expression of and dealing with personal limitations and General assertiveness. While not large in magnitude, these differences were judged to be of some practical importance.

Cross-cultural validity of the scale for interpersonal behavior.
International journal of adolescent medicine and health, 2011Co-Authors: Laura Nota, Willem A. Arrindell, Jan Van Der Ende, Salvatore Soresi, Ezio SanavioAbstract:The Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB) is a 50-item multidimensional measure of difficulty and distress in assertiveness. The SIB assesses Negative Assertion, expression of and dealing with personal limitations, initiating assertiveness and positive Assertion. The SIB was originally developed in the Netherlands. The present study attempted to replicate the original factors with an Italian student sample (n = 995). The four distress and four performance factors were replicable across two methods of analysis (the multiple group method of confirmatory analysis and Tucker's coefficient of congruence (phi). The corresponding scales were internally consistent and showed predicted patterns of correlations with a measure of self-efficacy. Sex and age differences in assertiveness were generally negligible. Italian students had higher positive Assertion-performance scores than the Dutch and comparable scores on other performance scales; by contrast, the Italian subjects had significantly higher scores on all SIB distress scales than their Dutch equivalents. This was ascribed to the stronger pressure on people in Italian society to behave assertively (Hofstede's National Masculinity score = 70) as opposed to the Dutch society (National Masculinity score = 14).
