Relational & Interpersonal
Expanding interpersonal consciousness; facilitating emotionally healthy and effective relationships; and creating awareness of how our social life affects our mood and functioning – these are the goals of our products in this category.
Like all of our other product categories, this line of products is easy to use, immediate, relevant and has simple to understand results. When we use the term “solution suggestive”, what we mean is just the act of responding to our products often helps clients generate their own solutions to problems – and this is the type of solution clients and patients are most like to use: their own.

The Social Spectrum-1 gives a brief glimpse into key interpersonal phenomenon such as trust tendencies, social avoidance, conflict style and several of the most critical skills. Whereas some Dashometrics products focus on social relationships and their direct impact on mood, this product and the two that follow are oriented toward understanding whether clients or patients are sufficiently connected socially, and if they are not, what the barriers are.

The Social Connector-1, Part 1is specifically oriented toward assessing conversational skills and dynamics. One of the benefits of this product is that it allows providers to compare what clients or patients report with what the provider actually observes.
The Social Connector-1, Part 2 goes into more details about level of satisfaction with social life and potential barriers to more connectedness or satisfaction.

Social Life Assessment
|
The Social Life Assessment Part 1 turns social functioning the other way and looks at the direct impact that specific people have on a client or patients negative mood conditions (anger, anxiety, confusion, depression/sadness and guilt). This product also comes with an interpretation guide. Our experience is that this instrument provides powerful, spontaneous insight that almost always provides motivation to increase boundary awareness and usage. It allows provider and client to both identify specific people and specific emotions that are especially problematic.
The Social Life Assessment Part 2 is identical to Part 1 except that it focuses on the positive emotions of appreciation, closeness, joy, respect and security. |

The Social Avoidance – 1 is a product that focuses on the most common characteristics of people that cause others to avoid them. The three domains covered in this instrument are appearance and hygiene, interactive style and personality features. It is an especially useful instrument because so often these are difficult things to talk about. It breaks the ice and puts the issues on the table. It is also useful to know which characteristics respondents acknowledge and which they aren’t aware of or won’t admit to.

Relationship
|
The Relationship Builder-1 is a product that was designed for use in romantic relationships. Nonetheless, many of the principles can be applied to almost any relationship and, therefore, we also include it in this product category.

Our Relationship Interactions product provides a framework for understanding to what degree a respondent understands their role in the quality of any given relationship by virtue of how they interact within it. While almost all of our products are intended to generate spontaneous insight of the respondent, this is one where such insight is especially useful and empowering as so many respondents are caught up in blame externalizing in their relationships.

Family
|
Family Communication Assessment-1 is a tool that focuses on system versus individual functioning. This tool can be used in a number of contexts, but is especially useful as a tool to assess and improve communication within family systems.
|
|
Safe
|
Safe Communication is another tutorial product that focuses on high impact intervention for interpersonal improvement. The premise of this product is to provide tools for clients or patients to use so that others feel safe communicating with them. When safety increases, disclosure increases and almost all relationships will function better.
|
|
Validation |
Validation is a Dashometrics tutorial product that can be given directly to clients or patients. Because our products seek the most practical, powerful and universal interventions whenever possible, we include this product in our interpersonal set as we find it be one of the most high gain social behaviors to focus on.
The Validation Supplement provides a set of hypothetical examples illustrating the use of validation. |
|
Expectation
|
The Expectation Profile-1 is another tool that can be used in different contexts but is especially useful for looking at dyadic relationships and how expectations are communicated or established within that relationship and what those expectations are. This can also be a useful mood management tool as expectations can also be an influential part of mood profile – stimulating anger, anxiety, confusion, depression or guilt.
