Service response to problems in 20 clinical and social competence areas was assessed in 156 long-stay in-patients, using the Needs for Care Assessment (NFC). Although there were few unmet needs for treatment, over 200 instances of unmet needs for the assessment of social skills were found, and reasons for this are discussed, as is the importance of social-skills assessment in this group. In around a third of the sample most of the social-skill areas in the NFC were not applicable.

Self report instruments for assessing social competence are briefly reviewed. The amount of assistance available from the literature to those wishing to apply the scales psychometrically seems scarce, and construct infrastructure of many such scales is limited and insufficiently explicit. A new inventory was investigated, using three male samples (controls = 100; alcohol abusers = 160; other psychiatric = 58) from an Armed Services population. Results indicate an underlying factorial framework which comprises five separate scales, and data are presented which indicate the scale's potential usefulness in such ways as identifying candidates for social competence training, and for inter-group analyses of social competence.

This study examined differences in bask dimensions of social skill among birth orders. 205 undergraduate students completed a questionnaire that asked about family sibling structure and family income along with a standardized, self-report measure of social skills/social competence, the Social Skills Inventory. Analyses indicated no significant birth-order effects on any of the social skills dimensions, even when controlling for factors of age spacing, subjects' sex, family income, and family size.
