Abstract
The Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory was administered to 264 husbands and 259 wives and the data were factor analyzed separately for males, females, and total sample. The inventory's five subscales (Level of Regard, Empathic Understanding, Congruence, Unconditionality of Regard, and Willingness To Be Known) did not emerge as factors. Instead, two general factors were identified, one related to positive affect and attitudes and the other to negative affect and indifference. Findings were briefly discussed in terms of the work of Bradburn and others.Keywords
