abstract="OBJECTIVES: A lot of studies show the close connection between low social competence and psychological disturbances of adolescents. METHODS: To record the social behavior of adolescents among each other the &quot;Teenage Inventory of Social Skills&quot; (TISS) was translated into German and evaluated. RESULTS: The factorial created scales &quot;positive behaviour&quot;, and &quot;negative behaviour&quot; show an internal constistuency of alpha = .86 and .85. The 13 to 18 days test-retest reliability amounts to r = .89 for both scales. While there is no substantial correlation between the scale &quot;positive behaviour&quot; and the syndrome scales of the &quot;Youth Self-Report&quot;, the scale &quot;negative behaviour&quot; shows the expected correlations with the YSR scales &quot;aggressive behaviour&quot; and &quot;dissocial behaviour&quot;. CONCLUSIONS: The &quot;Teenage Inventory of Social Skills--German&quot; (TISS-D) seems to be a self-rated, economical and reliable instrument for the recording of sympathy and antipathy generating behavior of adolescents.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
