| Description | This article is focused on selected psychometric properties of the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) which is used for the assessment of relationship satisfaction. We investigated internal consistency as an indicator of reliability, and construct validity of the RAS questionnaire by assessing its associations with latent factors of satisfaction, consensus, and cohesion in the relationship which are the dimensions of the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS). The RDAS questionnaire was designed to measure adjustment in a relationship. In order to investigate reliability and validity, we collected data from 232 respondents via internet. Reliability of the questionnaire was acceptable for application in research. Association between the RAS satisfaction, the RDAS satisfaction, and the RDAS cohesion supported the construct validity of the RAS questionnaire. A strong positive association between the RAS satisfaction and the RDAS cohesion did not support the construct validity, results showed that there was a possible overlap between these two constructs in our study. However, results could have been impacted by the use of the RDAS Relationship Consensus Scale which did not function as a reliable indicator of the consensus in our sample. Based on the results, we proposed a revised model. |
