This study attempted to construct the Interpersonal Orientation Scale (ISO) based on the concept proposed by Rubin & Brown (1975). High IOs are interested in and reactive to other people, whereas low IOs are less interested and responsive to others and more concerned with economic features of interpersonal relationships. The scale for Japanese based on Swap & Rubin (1983) was revised to the new scale (ISO-V) which was constructed by eighteen items. Factor analysis of ISO-V yielded three factors : human relation directedness, interpersonal interest and reactivity, and individualistic tendency. This scale had reasonable internal consistency. Correlations between ISO-V and other personality scales indicated expected relations. Then, the validity of IO construct and the usefulness of ISO-V were examined by two experiments. First experiment was aimed to examine the influences of evaluator's IO on attraction toward the self-disclosing other. By this experiment, it was found that high IOs showed greater responsiveness to variations in other's disclosures than did low IOs. Second experiment aimed at exploring the effects of subjects' IO on their opinions about reward allocation and cognition of it. This experiment indicated that high IO individuals liked equality and low IOs took a serious view of own contribution. These results suggested that this scale was useful in understanding behavior in certain social situations.
