TL;DR: Several promising instruments are currently available to researchers and clinicians who require a reliable and valid measure of social problem-solving abilities as discussed by the authors. However, all of these measures have shortcomings and none has definitive, unequivocal support for its construct validity at the present time.

TL;DR: The authors partially relax the fixed coefficients assumption in the common factor model by allowing the intercepts in the factor model to change across participants, and demonstrate the use of this model with an empirical data set on optimism in which it is compared with competing models.

TL;DR: In this paper, age and gender differences in social problem-solving ability were examined using the Social Problem-Solving Inventory-Revised (D'Zurilla et al., 1998).

TL;DR: This article examined the relation between everyday problems, social problem solving, and depression and anxiety in middle-aged and elderly community residents, using a multidimensional measure of social problem-solving ability.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provided a necessarily partial model for how this impact takes place using innovation degree, innovation performance and customer loyalty as intermediate variables and found that the effects of market orientation on economic performance are completely channeled (mediated) through these variables, particularly through innovation degree and innovation performance.
