The Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) is a short seven-item measure for the assessment of relationship satisfaction. It can be used with different types of relationships. We aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the German version of the RAS in a community sample of N = 145 persons. The principal component analysis revealed one general factor, which accounted for more than 60 per cent of the variance. The internal consistency of the RAS was high (α = .89). While there were no significant associations between RAS scores and age or gender, several other sociodemographic parameters had an impact on the RAS, e. g. presence of children. The RAS correlated significantly with scales of the Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS), most impressively with the DAS satisfaction scale (r = .87). Persons living in a distressing relationship, as indicated by a DAS total score below 100, also had lower scores on the RAS. In conclusion, our results extend the evidence on the reliability and validity of the RAS.

Inaccurate stigmas and stereotypes may prevent individuals involved in consensual nonmonogamous (CNM) relationships from getting the counseling they seek when facing relational issues. Misperceptions regarding the satisfaction level of individuals in CNM relationships may perpetuate stereotypes and complicate therapeutic care. The current research attempted to determine the satisfaction levels of those involved in CNM relationships using the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) and the Relational Assessment Questionnaire. Results of N = 150 find a mean of 4.12 (0.76) on the RAS for the CNM group indicating no difference in satisfaction between the CNM sample and individuals identifying as monogamous. This research offers important considerations for counselors in reviewing biases and judgments they may hold in working with this population and contributes to the dearth of literature on CNM populations.

This study examined the reliability and validity of a Turkish version for the Marital Dispositional Forgiveness Scale (MDFS). 104 married couples ( M age = 36.6 yr., SD = 9.4) living in Turkey completed the Turkish versions of the MDFS and the Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS). Cronbach's coefficients α for negative dimension (wives =. 82, husbands =. 80) and positive dimension (wives =. 80, husbands = .79) were adequate. A correlation between the MDFS and RAS scores indicated significant associations, stronger for the positive dimension than the negative dimension, supporting the external validity of the MDFS.
