Abstract
While acknowledging the potential significance of negative interpersonal transactions for psychological functioning, researchers have only recently turned their attention to assessment. To date, investigators have relied on single-item measures or incompletely developed unidimensional scales. This article describes the construction and preliminary validation of the Test of Negative Social Exchange (TENSE) on the basis of 2 independent samples (N=878)
