N2 - This study explored the validity and reliability of the Communicative Adaptability Scale (CAS) (Duran, 1983) as an "other-report" measure of competence. Dyads (N=432) provided self-other reports of adaptability, self-reports for cognitive flexibility, and other-reports of conversational appropriateness. After confirmatory factor analysis on all four measures, the data were subjected to the Social Relations Model (Kenny, Kashy, Cook, 2006) and correlational analysis. Support for the CAS as an other-report measure was established. The final CFA resulted in appropriate fit indices, the CAS subscales demonstrated acceptable reliability, and concurrent validity was established for this sample.
