- Abstract
The objective of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the Spanish version of the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) in a sample of Puerto Rican women. Relationship satisfaction can be defined as the global position towards partnered love relationships and the actual couple. The sample consisted of 1,009 women whom were involved in some type of couple relationship including marriage or a cohabiting relationship. The confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the data, as well as item discrimination analysis and internal consistency reliability. The results obtained confirmed the one-dimensional structure of the RAS with an adequate internal consistency (Alpha = .91; Split-half = .93). The seven items of the scale complied with the discrimination criteria. The results demonstrated that the validity and reliability of the scale are appropriate, and therefore a useful and valid tool to measure the level of satisfaction of Puerto Rican women in amorous relationships.
