Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Efficacy

For each of the following behaviors, rate how sure you are that you can act that way with other people. Use the following
rating scale:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I am not at all I am mildly I am moderately confident I am very confident I am absolutely
confident that... confident that... that... that... confident that...

Sample Item:
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ...I can express myself clearly
When I am with others,
If you are absolutely confident that you can express yourself clearly, you would circle 10. If you feel not at all confident,
you would circle 0. If you feel moderately confident that you can express yourself clearly, you would circle 5, and so on.

Sample SPSS program for scoring the CSIE:

* pa = +A, bc = +A-C, de = -C, fg = -A-C, hi = -A, jk = -A+C, lm = +C, no = +A+C.

* Compute csie raw scores.

* e01 = item number 1, e02 = item number 2, and so on.
COMPUTE NO = (e01+e09+e17+e25)/4.
COMPUTE PA = (e04+e12+e20+e28)/4.
COMPUTE BC = (e07+e15+e23+e31)/4.
COMPUTE DE = (e02+e10+e18+e26)/4.
COMPUTE FG = (e05+e13+e21+e29)/4.
COMPUTE HI = (e08+e16+e24+e32)/4.
COMPUTE JK = (e03+e11+e19+e27)/4.
COMPUTE LM = (e06+e14+e22+e30)/4.
COMPUTE csiemean = (PA+BC+DE+FG+HI+JK+LM+NO)/8.

* Compute scores for the four "cardinal" unipolar vectors.

COMPUTE rawC = .414*(LM + (.707 * (JK+NO))).
COMPUTE rawA = .414*(PA + (.707 * (BC+NO))).
COMPUTE rawunA= .414*(HI + (.707 * (JK+FG))).
COMPUTE rawunC= .414*(DE + (.707 * (BC+FG))).

* Compute scores for the traditional bipolar X (love) and Y (dominance) vectors.
COMPUTE rawY = rawA - rawunA.
COMPUTE rawX = rawC - rawunC.

* compute ipsative octant scores.

COMPUTE iPA=(PA-csiemean).
COMPUTE iBC=(BC-csiemean).
COMPUTE iDE=(DE-csiemean).
COMPUTE iFG=(FG-csiemean).
COMPUTE iHI=(HI-csiemean).
COMPUTE iJK=(JK-csiemean).
COMPUTE iLM=(LM-csiemean).
COMPUTE iNO=(NO-csiemean).
