Project name: Measuring Dysfunctional Interpersonal Beliefs: Validation of the Interpersonal Cognitive Distortions Scale among a German-speaking Sample

data sets: 

- "whole sample.csv" (i.e., all participants that completed their participation)
- "nonclincial sample.csv" (i.e., all participants of the "whole sample" data set that did not report any current or former diagnosed mental health condition)
- "clinical sample.csv" (i.e., all participants of the "whole sample" data set that did report any current or former diagnosed mental health condition)
- "whole sample_without outliers.csv" (i.e., all participants of the "whole sample" data set adjusted by outliers as indicated by standardized mean scores or variances computed over all scales that were z > 3)
- "nonclinical_sample_without outliers.csv" (i.e., all participants of the "nonclinical sample" data set adjusted by outliers as indicated by standardized mean scores or variances computed over all scales that were z > 3)
- "clinical_sample_without outliers.csv" (i.e., all participants of the "clinical sample" data set adjusted by outliers as indicated by standardized mean scores or variances computed over all scales that were z > 3)								
							
Note. Each row in each data set corresponds to the responses of one participant.
