“…To further analyze the WFCS, we evaluated the discriminant validity of the instrument through the correlations between the WFCS subscales and total score and the two subscales of the DFRS (Raffagnino & Matera, 2015), namely Dyadic Relationship Satisfaction and Familial Relationship Satisfaction. As the results reported negative but low values of correlation (the highest r value being -.15 for the correlation between the DFRS Dyadic Relationship Satisfaction scale and the WFCS strain-based FIW), we concluded that there is not an association between the two measures.…”

“…Hence, we aimed to contribute to its Italian validation through the evaluation of the factor structure and the psychometric properties of the WFCS on a sample of Italian workers characterized by different jobs (most of them are teachers or researchers, clerks or employees, and doctor or other health professionals). We hypothesized that (a) the WFCS has the better fit for the six-factor model, in line with Carlson et al (2000); (b) the WFCS six scales have good internal reliability, as well as the WFCS total score; (c) the WFCS has good divergent validity, as analyzed by means of the correlation between the WFCS and the Dyadic-Familial Relationship Satisfaction Scale (DFRS; Raffagnino & Matera, 2015). The DFRS is an instrument designed for evaluating the satisfaction with the partner and the family.…”

“…The participants filled out the Dyadic-Familial Relationship Satisfaction Scale (DFRS; Raffagnino & Matera, 2015). It is a 14-item self-report instrument, and it evaluates two dimensions: Dyadic Relationship Satisfaction (nine items) and Familial Relationship Satisfaction (five items).…”

In literature, there are many instruments for measuring the work–family conflict (W-F-C). The Work–Family Conflict Scale (WFCS) is one of the most used tools. This study aimed to evaluate its psychometric properties on a sample of 684 Italian workers (42.1% males, 57.9% females, mean age = 45.51 ± 10.91). We also evaluated if there were some demographic differences in the W-F-C, with relation to gender, the presence of children, and the kind of job (i.e., medical doctors and other health professionals, teachers and researchers, employees, manual workers, self-employed workers). We found that the Italian WFCS has good psychometric properties. Moreover, contrary to our hypotheses, males experience higher W-F-C than females, and the lowest level of W-F-C characterize doctors and other health professionals. Manual workers and self-employed workers seem to be the two job categories that experience the highest level of W-F-C.

“…These factors concern relational and interpersonal dimensions (Raffagnino, 2008) that may be different depending on the couple's dyadic or familial situation. While the former regards all couples, the latter relates only to couples who live together and have children (Raffagnino & Matera, 2015). This distinction is important because the perception of relational satisfaction may change depending on whether or not partners share the same household and care for their children rather than just themselves.…”

Exploring the Similarity of Partners’ Love Styles and Their Relationships With Marital Satisfaction: A Dyadic Approach

In this paper, we report on the findings of our exploratory research investigating how the similarity or difference of the partners’ love styles could be related to dyadic and familial satisfaction. The empirical literature outlines how love styles are differently associated with various couple dimensions. While most studies employ an individual approach, we assessed whether the similarity of the prevalent love style in each couple was associated with greater dyadic satisfaction. In our sample, comprising 146 heterosexual couples (all married or cohabitating), no such association emerged. Storge and Pragma were the most prevalent love styles; moreover, there was a similar prevalence of the similarity in these two love styles between partners. Hence, the love styles similarity does not show a direct association with marital satisfaction. To establish whether there is some relationship between these variables, it would be useful for future research to investigate the impact of further individual and relational factors and of their interaction.

Psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Dyadic-Familial Relationship Satisfaction Scale

et al. 2023

The Dyadic-Familial Relationship Satisfaction Scale (DFRSS) is a valid and reliable instrument to assess dyadic and familial dimensions of relationship satisfaction in cohabitant couples with children. The main goal of this research was to validate the Spanish version of the DFRSS (Sp-DFRSS) following the guidelines for cross-cultural adaptations. Three studies were conducted. In Study 1 (n = 151), an exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring and oblimin rotation was performed to examine the factor structure of the Sp-DFRSS. In Study 2 (n = 500), a confirmatory factor analysis showed that a two factor model (dyadic and familial) provided the best fit to the data. In Study 3 (n = 100), we examined relationship satisfaction using the Actor-Partner Interdependence Model. The Sp-DFRSS as a whole and its subscales presented adequate reliability in the three studies, with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.87 to 0.95. Moreover, convergent and divergent validity of the Sp-DFRSS was analyzed in Studies 1, 2 and 3, and significant correlations between the Sp-DFRSS’ subscales, life satisfaction, negative and positive affect, attachment (anxiety and avoidance), and psychological well-being were found. The Sp-DFRSS has good psychometric properties in terms of validity and reliability, so that it may be used by the Spanish-speaking scientific community to measure relationship satisfaction.
