The current FIRO manual by Schutz presents no data on the validity of the Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation Behavior Scale for Children (FIRO-BC), although we recently provided reliability data. In this investigation, we examined the factor structure and factor stability of the FIRO-BC. Additionally, we attempted to determine empirically the concurrent validity of the three interpersonal behavior areas measured by the FIRO-BC (i.e., Inclusion, Control, and Affection) using peer-nomination data. We collected data using two test administrations, which were separated by a 12-month period. It was determined that a six-factor solution was stable across test administrations, but that the FIRO-BC scales do not appear to measure adequately the theoretical constructs that were hypothesized by the developer of the test.
