ObjectivesThe therapist‐facilitative interpersonal skills (FIS) has shown to predict therapy outcomes, demonstrating that high FIS therapists are more effective than low FIS therapists. There is a need for more insight into the variability in strengths and weaknesses in therapist skills. This study investigates whether a revised and extended FIS‐scoring leads to more differentiation in measuring therapists' interpersonal skills. Furthermore, we explorative examine whether subgroups of therapists can be distinguished in terms of differences in their interpersonal responses.MethodUsing secondary data analysis, 93 therapists were exposed to seven FIS‐clips. Responses of therapists using the original and the extended FIS scoring were rated.ResultsThree factors were found on the extended FIS scoring distinguishing supportive, expressive, and persuasive interpersonal responses of therapists. A latent profile analysis enlightened the presence of six subgroups of therapists.ConclusionUsing the revised and extended FIS‐scoring contributes to our understanding of the role of interpersonal skills in the therapeutic setting by unraveling the question what works for whom.

使用扩展版的促进性人际关系技能表现测试来确定治疗师之间的差异

目标治疗师促进性人际关系技能（FIS）已被证明可以预测治疗结果，表明高 FIS 治疗师比低 FIS 治疗师更有效。需要更深入地了解治疗师技能的优势和劣势的变化。本研究调查了修订和扩展的 FIS 评分是否会在测量治疗师的人际交往能力方面带来更多差异。此外，我们探索性地检查是否可以根据人际反应的差异来区分治疗师亚组。方法使用二次数据分析，93 名治疗师接触了 7 个 FIS 剪辑。使用原始 FIS 评分和扩展 FIS 评分对治疗师的反应进行评级。结果在扩展 FIS 评分上发现了三个因素，区分治疗师的支持性、表达性和说服性人际反应。潜在的概况分析揭示了治疗师的六个亚组的存在。结论使用修订和扩展的 FIS 评分有助于我们通过阐明什么对谁有效的问题来理解人际交往能力在治疗环境中的作用。
