Study Description | Presents an application of the KIT (Kontrolliertes Interaktions-Tagebuch, controlled interaction diary) method. Psychologically significant social interactions in a specific observation period were documented. Social relationships were diagnosed via the aggregation of a series of a subject's interactions with the same person. Personality characteristic were identified by aggregating the subject's personal relationships. Strict checks were established to minimize the interference of retrospective memories. Nevertheless, the KIT was shown to be a practical tool. In a longitudinal study, 144 college students maintained a daily diary for 3 weeks in the first semester while 114 college students did the same in the second semester. The quality of individual close relationships and significant relationship types (such as heterosexual peer relationships) was recorded with high reliability. Comparisons with relationship and personality questionnaires revealed a satisfactory validity. |
Hypotheses | - |
Keyphrase | controlled interaction diary, assessment of social interactions & relationships & personality traits, 144 college students aged 18-23, longitudinal empirical study, primary data |
Funding | German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) |
Rating | Reliability: Odd-Even Reliability (odd/even days of data collection); Stability across 6 months.
Validity: Correlation with relationship questionnaire; correlation with personality questionnaire (NEO-FFI): see Asendorpf & Wilpers (1998). |

Research Method Description | Questionnaire Data |
---|---|
Classification of Data Collection | Fully Standardized Survey Instrument (provides question formulation and answer options) |
Research Instrument | The test subjects described all relevant daily interactions with others (time, place, interaction partner, interaction particulars) by means of an interaction questionnaire. They described their interaction partner using a separate questionnaire. Additional written directions gave specific instructions concerning how the subjects were to complete the questionnaire. |
Data Collection Method | Data collection in the absence of an experimenter
- Mail Survey |
Time Points | repeated measurements |
Survey Time Period | Longitudinal analysis: 2 measurements separated by 6 months (initial measurement time in 1994/1995; follow-up measurement time in 1995/1996) |

Sample Size | 144 individuals |
Return/Drop Out | 144 subjects took part in the initial measurement. Of these, 114 took part in the experiment's 2nd measurement. |
Gender Distribution | 54,9% female subjects (n=79)

Data Status | - |
---|---|
Original Records | Questionnaire filled out by either the subject or the experimenter containing closed and/or open answers |
Transformation | The diary protocols were transferred directly into a machine-readable form. The data were checked for consistency and undocumented codes. Missing data were standardized. The data were then rendered anonymous. Based on the primary data files, derived data files on relationships and personality level were created. The primary data files and the derived data files on relationships and personality level are provided. |
