Rearranging Salminen's 1991 correlations between the interpersonal need scales of Schutz's FIRO-B and parallel self-ratings indicates that only one of six FIRO-B scales satisfied the convergent and discriminant criteria for construct validity that Campbell and Fiske provided in 1959. Augmenting a growing body of negative reports regarding the contruct validity of FIRO-B and related measures, these adverse findings heighten concerns about this family of instruments.
