Interpersonal skills play a vital role in the growth and development of adolescents. The current study explored the experience and manifestation of interpersonal skills in Pakistani adolescents. In phase I, using open‐ended phenomenological approach, key components of interpersonal skills were elicited from 32 adolescents (boys = 16; girls = 16) aged 11–19 years (M = 14.48; SD = 1.06). In phase II, Content Validity Index for items (I‐CVIs) and scale (S‐CVI) was established. In phase III, pilot testing was carried out on 21 adolescents (boys = 11; girls = 10). In Phase IV, a sample of 674 adolescents (boys = 47%; girls = 53%) aged 11–19 years (M = 14.88; SD = 1.33) were tested for psychometric properties of Interpersonal Skills Scale along with Social Intelligence Scale for Adolescents and Self‐Esteem Scale for Children. Exploratory Factor Analysis (n = 221) generated three factors of the Interpersonal Skills Scale social engagement, sociability, and social etiquettes. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (n = 453) also supported the three‐factor structure of the Interpersonal Skills Scale. Furthermore, the scale found to have high internal consistency, construct validity, discriminant validity, split‐half reliability, and test–retest reliability. The results are discussed in the light of factorial structure in the Pakistani cultural context.

人际交往能力量表：青少年城市化样本中的发展和验证

人际交往能力在青少年的成长和发展中起着至关重要的作用。当前的研究探讨了巴基斯坦青少年人际交往能力的经验和表现。在第一阶段，采用开放式现象学方法，从11至19岁（M  = 14.48；SD  = 1.06）的32名青少年（男孩= 16；女孩= 16）中得出人际交往技能的关键组成部分。在第二阶段，建立了项目（I-CVI）和规模（S-CVI）的内容有效性指数。在第三阶段，对21名青少年进行了试验测试（男孩= 11；女孩= 10）。在第四阶段，抽样调查了674名11-11岁的青少年（男= 47％；女= 53％）（M  = 14.88；SD = 1.33）进行了人际交往技巧量表，青少年社会智能量表和儿童自尊量表的心理计量学测试。探索性因素分析（n  = 221）产生了人际交往能力量表的社会参与，社交能力和社会礼节三个因素。验证性因素分析（n  = 453）也支持人际交往能力量表的三因素结构。此外，该量表具有较高的内部一致性，结构效度，判别效度，二分半信度和重测信度。根据巴基斯坦文化背景下的阶乘结构讨论了结果。
