title: Criterion validity of the interpersonal dependency inventory: a preliminary study on 621 addictive subjects.
abstract: The interpersonal dependency inventory comprised three subscales called Emotional reliance of another person (ER), lack of social self confidence (LSS) and Assertion of autonomy (AUT). Several formula have been developed for deriving whole-scale scores. The aim of the study on 621 addictive subjects was to determine the best formula using the DSM-IV dependent personality disorder as gold standard. The formula 3 ER + LSS - AUT yielded the best values of sensitivity and specificity.
