Social goals were assessed using a revised version of the Interpersonal Goals Inventory for Children (IGI-C; Ojanen et al., 2005). The IGI-C is adapted from an adult self-report measure, the Circumplex Scales of Interpersonal Values (CSIV; Locke, 2000), and included 33 self-report items representing eight goal scales of the circumplex. Each of the eight scales represents a different combination of agentic (dominance, status, power) and communal (belongingness, friendliness, warmth) social goals: agentic (+A), agentic and communal (+A+C), communal (+C), submissive and communal (−A+C), submissive (−A), submissive and separate (−A−C), agentic and separate (+A−C), and separate (−C). The IGI-C scales have been shown to have a circumplex structure and good stability (zero-order correlations ranged from 0.59–0.74, all statistically significant at p < .001) across a 2-week period (Ojanen et al., 2005).
