Abstract

Avoidant Personality Severity Scale (APSS) normative dataset currently contains 88 participant records collected between Jun 12, 2026 and Jul 12, 2026 .

This psychometric dataset currently includes 88 anonymous participant responses collected through voluntary participation. The observed mean score was 61.74 with a standard deviation of 18.93, indicating moderate score variability within the sampled population. Internal consistency reliability analysis demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach alpha = 0.872). Observed skewness (-1.11) and kurtosis (0.72) were examined as indicators of distribution quality. The distribution demonstrated mild departures from normality, although the overall score pattern remained broadly interpretable for preliminary normative purposes.

Note. Internal consistency was estimated using Cronbach alpha. Reliability estimates are based on the current normative dataset and may change as additional responses are collected.
Item–Total Correlations
Insufficient Sample Size

Item–total correlations are not currently reported because the assessment has fewer than 100 participant responses. Psychometric item analysis requires a larger sample to produce stable and interpretable estimates.

Current Participants: 88
Minimum Recommended: 100

Dimension Profile
Note. The highest observed dimension was Overconcern (Preoccupation with Criticism) (83.3%), whereas the lowest observed dimension was Insularity (Limited Social Circle) (31.3%). The observed difference between dimensions was 52 percentage points. Substantial variation was observed between dimensions.

Normative Data Notice

A total of 88 participant responses were available for this assessment. Dimension-level norms were calculated using 88 valid response records. Approximately 0 response record(s) were excluded from dimension-level normative calculations due to incomplete response patterns.

Limitations

Normative statistics are derived from voluntary participation and may not represent all populations. Reliability estimates, percentile norms, and dimension statistics should be interpreted in the context of the current sample and may change as additional responses are collected.

Ethical Statement

All records included in this dataset were collected anonymously. No personally identifying information is stored. Data are intended for educational, psychometric, and research purposes.
