Previous research has suggested that the Interpersonal Adjective Scales (IAS) have properties that are compatible with the substantive, structural, and external characteristics required by the circumplex-based interpersonal theory which guided scale construction procedures. In the present study, we describe an item-analytic procedure that identifies and selects items in terms of their estimated geometric location within a circumplex model and we apply the procedure to the task of reducing the 128-item IAS to a 64-item short form version (IAS-R). Scales constructed to conform to a circumplex model are evaluated by somewhat different structural criteria than are those developed to conform to other multivariate models and these differences are illustrated. The resultant IAS-R was found to have improved substantive and structural characteristics and acceptable reliability. We discuss possible applications of this highly efficient measure of interpersonal behavior.

Article Synopsis
- Semantic dementia (SD) involves deterioration of the anterior temporal lobes, leading to loss of semantic knowledge and changes in social-emotional behavior, with two clinical variants: svPPA and sbvFTD, differing by the hemisphere affected.
- A study compared resting autonomic nervous system activity (measured through respiratory sinus arrhythmia and skin conductance) among 82 participants, including those with SD and healthy controls, finding lower levels in SD individuals.
- The research indicated that the left-sided brain atrophy in SD correlates with reduced autonomic function and diminished social behavior, with specific areas of atrophy linked to lower parasympathetic and sympathetic activity.

Listening is a complex construct studied in various fields, including psychology, education, marketing, management, and medicine. Despite its importance, there is no agreed definition of the construct. Therefore, we review existing definitions of listening, primarily recent, focusing on those that describe listening in interpersonal contexts.
