Sažetak
The aim of the study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Croatian version of the Interpersonal Rejection Sensitivity Scale (IRSS). Interpersonal rejection sensitivity pertains to a disposition to perceive negative intent in the behavior of others, even when no such intent is objectively present (Rohner, 2019). IRSS is a 13-item self-report scale which measures interpersonal rejection sensitivity. The data were collected among 344 graduate students (59.3% female) of the University of Zagreb from different study fields, aged between 21 and 33 years (M=23.62 ; sd=2.095). IRSS was adapted to Croatian using back-translation procedure. Students also completed Personality Assessment Questionnaire (PAQ), mother and father version of Parental Acceptance-Rejection Questionnaire (PARQ), and Fear of Intimacy Scale (FIS). Exploratory factor analysis provided support for the unidimensionality of the IRSS. Internal consistency reliability was found to be highly acceptable since Cronbach’s alpha for the IRSS was 0.84. Gender comparisons did not reveal significant difference in the total IRSS score between female and male students. IRSS had low positive correlation with both father and mother version of PARQ, and moderate positive correlation with PAQ, while no correlation was found with FIS. The results of this research provide support that Croatian version of IRSS is a valid, reliable instrument for the use in national and international research.
