Abstract
The FIRO-B Questionnaire is a pencil and paper test designed to measure expressed and wanted aspects of the dimensions of inclusion, control, and affection. 25 Ss took the test and also rated themselves on these dimensions. Rank order correlations were calculated between the six FIRO-B scores and the corresponding self-ratings. Five of the six resulting coefficients were significant at or beyond the .05 level. The results were discussed in terms of problems of construct validity and were viewed as contributing toward the validation of the FIRO-B.Keywords
