Abstract

This study attempted to measure relationship satisfaction, social support, and psychological well-being in a sample of 235 Italian lesbian and gay individuals (46.8% were female, and 53.2% were male, age M = 32) with an average age of 32 years. We administered a research protocol composed of the Gay and Lesbian Relationship Satisfaction Scale (Belous & Wampler, 2016 Belous, C. K., & Wampler, R. S. (2016). Development of the gay and lesbian relationship satisfaction scale. Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 42(3), 451–465. doi:10.1111/jmft.12158[Crossref], [PubMed], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]), the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (Busby, Christensen, Crane, & Larson, 1995 Busby, D. M., Christensen, C., Crane, D. R., & Larson, J. H. (1995).

We found evidence of reliability and validity, with some cultural differences. Our results revealed that the dimensions emerging from the exploratory factor analysis corresponded well to the two dimensions proposed by Belous & Wampler. Data also revealed that total scores of GLRSS and scores of GRLSS Satisfaction Scale are significantly interrelated with all RDAS scales, and that no significant relationships were observed between GLRSS Social support scale and RDAS. The correlations of the GLRSS scales with the level of psychological distress measured by the OQ-45 revealed that less satisfied and less supported individuals tend to suffer more psychological, interpersonal and social difficulties. The findings indicate that the Italian Version of GRLSS can be used with clinical, non-clinical, and research samples for Italian-speaking same gender couples.

摘要

这项研究试图对平均年龄为32岁的235名意大利男女同性恋者（46.8％的女性和53.2％的男性，男性，年龄M = 32）进行测量，以衡量他们的关系满意度，社会支持和心理健康状况。 。我们执行了一项由男女同性恋关系满意度量表组成的研究方案（Belous＆Wampler，2016 Belous，CK和Wampler，RS（2016）。男女关系满意度量表的编制。婚姻与家庭疗法杂志，42（3），451 – 465。doi：10.1111 / jmft.12158 [Crossref]，[PubMed]，[Web of Science®]，[  Google Scholar]），修订后的二元调整量表（Busby，Christensen，Crane和Larson，1995年） Busby，DM，Christensen，C.，Crane，DR，和Larson，JH（1995）。用于遇险和非遇险夫妇的Dyadic调整量表的修订版：构造等级和多维量表。婚姻与家庭疗法杂志，21（3），289 – 308。doi：10.1111 / j.1752-0606.1995.tb00163.x [Crossref]，[Web of Science®]，[  Google Scholar]）和成果问卷45.2（Lambert等，1996） Lambert，MJ，Burlingame，GM，Umphress，V.，Hansen，NB，Vermeersch，DA，Clouse，GC和Yanchar，SC（1996）。结果问卷的信度和效度。临床心理学与心理治疗，3（4），249 – 258。doi：10.1002 /（SICI）1099-0879（199612）3：4 <249：AID-CPP106> 3.0.CO; 2-S [Crossref]，[Web of Science®]  ，[Google Scholar]）。我们发现了可靠性和有效性的证据，但存在一些文化差异。我们的结果表明，探索性因素分析产生的维度与Belous＆Wampler提出的两个维度非常吻合。数据还显示，GLRSS的总分和GRLSS满意度量表的得分与所有RDAS量表都具有显着的相关性，并且GLRSS社会支持量表和RDAS之间没有发现显着的关系。OLR-45测得的GLRSS量表与心理困扰水平的相关性表明，满意度和支持度较低的人往往会遭受更多的心理，人际关系和社会困难。研究结果表明，意大利语版本的GRLSS可用于临床，非临床，
