Description
Widely used to assess the nature and extent of conflict within a marriage or relationship, the MSI-R helps couples communicate hard-to-express feelings, providing an easy, economical way to gather information about a broad range of issues. And, because the items refer to ‘partner’ and ‘relationship’ rather than ‘spouse’ and ‘marriage’, the test is useful with both traditional and nontraditional couples. Each partner responds to 150 True-False items (129 if the couple has no children), which cover the following dimensions of marital interaction: Affective Communication, Role Orientation, Problem-Solving Communication, Aggression, Family History of Distress, Time Together, Dissatisfaction With Children, Disagreement About Finances, Conflict Over Child Rearing, Sexual Dissatisfaction and Global Distress.
