Measuring Long-Distance Romantic Relationships: A Validity Study
Pistole, M. Carole; Roberts, Amber
Measurement and Evaluation in Counseling and Development, v44 n2 p63-76 Apr 2011
This study investigated aspects of construct validity for the scores of a new long-distance romantic relationship measure. A single-factor structure of the long-distance romantic relationship index emerged, with convergent and discriminant evidence of external validity, high internal consistency reliability, and applied utility of the scores. Implications for counselors are discussed. (Contains 4 tables.)
