| Short Description of Instrument |
The Interpersonal Negotiations Strategies (INS) measures social cognition through semi-structured interview. Four scenarios are presented to the subject, who must employ social problem-solving skills to work through four steps: defining the problem, generating alternative strategies, selecting specific strategy, and evaluating outcome. |
| Scoring |
For each task, the child's response is scored on a scale from 1-4 (impulsive = 1 point, unilateral = 2 points, reciprocal = 3 points, or collaborative = 4 points). An average score is obtained from the four problems. Higher scores indicate better interpersonal negotiation strategies. |
