Hipple's Interpersonal Rating Scale (1972) was administered to graduate
students in a counselor education program. The results were factor
analyzed and six scales were extracted. The IRRS was then administered to
two classes of students in group counseling who had been meeting together
for fourteen weeks, both in class and in group experiences. The second
group of students rated themselves and other group members on the IRRS.
Discrepancy scores were set at ±1. Both groups had significantly more
discrepancy scores than would be expected by chance alone.
