摘要: Two studies examine psychometric aspects of the seven-item version Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) (Spanier, 1976). In Study 1, data from 148 heterosexual clients seeking marital therapy services and 122 couples in community were used to assess criterion validity DAS-7. The measure differentiated between clinic participants marriages classified as distressed or adjusted based on full DAS score. 2, reliability convergent DAS7, when administered a separate scale, was assessed sample 162 who married cohabiting relationships. Obtained values comparable those reported previous research which DAS-7 obtained by extracting items participants' DAS. These results demonstrate that is psychometrically sound short form for assessing adjustment.
