摘要
A-holes threaten the overall well-being of many social systems. This study explicates, constructs, and validates a measure for a-holism in relational communication. We identified and constructed items for four dimensions of the a-holism construct: verbal aggression, dominance, entitlement, and resistance to feedback. An online survey was distributed to 315 adults about their perceptions of a-holes they have met in their lives and how they communicated. The a-holism scale demonstrated second order uni-dimensionality. There was also evidence for convergent and discriminant validity. Implications for application of the a-holism scale in relational communication are discussed.
