The purpose of the study was to test the construct validity of personal permeability of the group by investigating correlations with relevant scales and interpersonal skills. Scales employed in this study were the followings: the scale for measuring (a) self-protection in friendship, (b) openness in friendship, (c) sensibility to friendship-threatening stressors, and (d) perceived group cohesiveness. Personal permeability of the group had a significant negative correlation with self-protection factor and a signifi cant positive correlation with openness. It was also found to have a significant negative correlation with sensibility, but only among girls. However personal permeability had no signifi cant correlation with perceived group cohesiveness. As for interpersonal skills, personal permeability of the group had a significant positive correlation with them, and the result showed that children who had more skills could interact with classmates other than peers well. |
