Social anhedonia is characterized by a diminished capacity to derive pleasure from social interactions, which may result in a lack of interest in establishing social relationships. The absence of an appropriate scale for measuring social anhedonia in the Persian language has prompted the present study, which aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale among Iranian university students. A total of 540 students from Shiraz University participated in the study during the academic year 2021-2022. They responded to the Anticipatory and Consummatory Interpersonal Pleasure Scale (ACIPS), the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS), and the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed to assess the validity and reliability of the data. Both analyses confirmed a three-factor structure. Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for the overall scale and its three subscales were 0.88, 0.84, 0.78, and 0.52, respectively. Convergent validity was established through correlations between the IPS and the SHAPS (r= 0.41) and the extraversion-related items of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (r= 0.45). Furthermore, the internal consistency of the scale was also satisfactory, with inter-item correlations of 0.90, 0.78, and 0.53 for the three subscales and the total score, respectively. These findings provide support for the three-factor structure of the Interpersonal Pleasure Scale and demonstrate its adequate validity and reliability for use among university students.
