Abstract
ABSTRACT Background The present study examined the psychometric properties of the Anger Bodily Sensations Interview – intellectual disabilities (ABSI-id), an adapted instrument to measure anger-related interoceptive awareness (IA) in individuals with mild intellectual disabilities or borderline intellectual functioning (MID-BIF). Method The ABSI-id was individually administered to 208 clients (51% male) with MID-BIF in residential facilities. Results An EFA and CFA showed a two-factor structure of the ABSI-id, including nine items. The ABSI-id had moderate to good reliability, with an internal consistency ranging from acceptable to good, a test–retest reliability ranging from moderate to good and an adequate convergent validity. There was no significant difference in ABSI-id scores between individuals with MID and BIF. Conclusion The ABSI-id is a promising instrument for measuring anger-related IA, additional research is needed on validity and sensitivity of change.
