A Scale to Measure College Student Relationship Involvement
Whatley, Mark; Little, Gelena M.; Knox, David
College Student Journal, v40 n1 p55-62 Mar 2006
The Relationship Involvement Scale was created to allow individuals to identify the degree to which they are involved in a relationship. The developed scale includes norms, reliability, and validity and was completed by a total of 306 undergraduates at two southern universities. While there were no significant differences between women and men on perceived level of involvement, Whites were significantly more involved than non-Whites and seniors significantly more than freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Limitations and future uses of the scales are suggested. (Contains 2 tables.)
