ABSTRACT
The Interpersonal Commitment Scale was constructed to measure the degree of committed behaviors of an individual with their interpersonal relationships; Friendship, Family, and Relationship. The Scale observes three dimensions for the same. The scale is intended for use among the age group of 18-25 years of age. The items were constructed keeping in mind the nature of the young and emerging adults, and statistical procedures were undertaken to establish the Reliability of the scale. The Scale was administered to the above age group (N = 200). The validity of the scale was established through subject expert objective ratings, and the items were adjusted accordingly. The reliability of the scale was established through Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient. The Reliability scores for each of the dimensions – friendship, family, and romantic relationships – were calculated separately and they are .708, .924, and .904 respectively. The inter-item correlation for all items falls in the range of .4 to .7. The Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient for the entire scale stands as .823. The scale aims to understand and measure the commitment, as psychology construct, of an individual and his/her relationship with their friends or family, or significant other. The Scale aims to help clinicians and counselors better formulate and personalize the required care and assistance for the individual.
