Complementary factorial validity study concerning the Factorial Relationship Satisfaction Scale and prediction of global relationship satisfaction

The study complements the validation of the Factorial Scale of Satisfaction in Couple Relationships, within a different sample composed by 342 university students in steady relationships (52,3% of whom were female). After a factor analysis, a similar factor structure and superior reliability indexes were found, in comparison with the first study, although one item has obtained a loading lower than 0,30 on the two factors. A multiple regression analysis was carried on to relate the scale's dimensions to a measure of global relationship satisfaction. The model including both EFS-RC sub-scales as predictors has explained 46% of relationship satisfaction variance.
