Abstract

The aim of the current study was to investigate the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the persian version of the RSQ questionnaire in a non-clinical sample of Iranian students. From population of students 355 individuals sampled through convenience method and filled the relationships scales questionnaire (RSQ), beck anxiety inventory (BAI), and depression inventory (BDI), hazan and shaver attachment styles questionnaire (ASQ) and the 5 factor NEO revised scale (NEO-FFI). Data was analyzed through confirmatory factor analysis and the LISREL software (8/8). The results showed that among 4 scoring patterns, the 2- factor pattern suggested by Simpson and et.al has acceptable suitability over other patterns. Calculating the coefficient internal consistency indicated that the subscales of anxiety and avoidance of this scoring pattern (RSQ) has a desirable reliability. Also convergent and divergent validity was evaluated by calculating Pearson correlation coefficient between scores of these 2 subscales, Beck anxiety and depression inventories, Hazen and Shower and NEO-60. The results of these analyzes reveals acceptable convergent and divergent validity for the studied scale. According to the results of this study, RSQ has the psychometric properties to be utilized in psychological research and clinical diagnosis.
