Abstract：
The interpersonal problem circumplex is extensively used in the field as an assessment framework for understanding the interpersonal implications of a range of personality and psychopathology constructs. The vast majority of this large literature has been conducted in Western convenience and clinical samples. We computed interpersonal problem structural summary parameters for a range of personality and psychopathology variables in two Chinese offender samples (N = 424 and N = 555) and one undergraduate sample (N = 511) to test how well findings from Western samples generalize to Chinese undergraduates and offenders. The results showed that findings in Western samples generalized reasonably well to Chinese young adult and forensic contexts, although the interpersonal profiles of external variables were less specific in Chinese samples. Compared with undergraduates, interpersonal distress has stronger associations with the mental health of offenders. This study further elaborates the interpersonal correlates of individual differences in personality and psychopathology across cultures and assessment contexts, and it also extends the literature examining interpersonal problems in forensic settings.
摘要：
人际问题在该领域被广泛用作评估框架，用于理解一系列人格和精神病理学结构的人际含义。这些大型文献中的绝大多数都是在西方方便和临床样品中进行的。我们在两个中国罪犯样本（N=424和N=555）和一个本科生样本（N=511）中计算了一系列人格和心理病理学变量的人际问题结构总结参数，以测试西方样本的发现对中国大学生和罪犯的推广程度。结果表明，西方样本中的发现可以很好地推广到中国年轻人和法医环境中，尽管在中国样本中，外部变量的人际关系特征不太具体。与本科生相比,人际关系困扰与罪犯的心理健康有更强的关联。本研究进一步阐述了跨文化和评估背景下人格和精神病理学个体差异的人际相关性，它还扩展了研究法医环境中人际关系问题的文献。
