This study investigated the cross-validation and clinical applications of Korean Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scale(KIIP-C) on adult and patient groups. The KIIP, MMPI, and SCL-90-R were administered to normal adult(n=495) and psychiatric patient(n=468) groups. We conducted factor analysis on the KIIP-C octant scores and calculated correlation coefficients of KIIP-C with MMPI and with SCL-90-R of patient groups. Circumplex property was found in both adult and patient groups. In patient group, correlation coefficients of KIIP-C with MMPI and with SCL-90-R were moderately high. Also, the KIIP-C octant scores of normal adults and depression patients were compared. The depression patient complained significantly more interpersonal problems than normal adult group. These results suggest that KIIP-C is useful to examine the complaints of psychiatric patients and to guide the appropriate treatment approach.
