Abstract

This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Relationship Beliefs Scale(RBS), which was developed for measuring the beliefs concerning what makes close relationships(particularly, marital relationship) successful. RBS was administered to 230 subjects(male=66, female=164; 53% were married). A factor analysis revealed the four-factor structure which was very similar to the factor structure of the original scale. RBS has sufficient internal consistency reliability, from .55 to .90. The convergent and discriminant validity of RBS also were adequate: The belief factors were not strongly, or moderately, correlated with relationship satisfaction, and were generally related in the predicted fashion to love attitudes. Finally, some limitations of this study and future research uses for the RBS are discussed.
