Abstract

This study presents the adaptation to the Italian context of the Relationship Profile Test (RPT; Bornstein & Languirand), a self-report measure of Destructive Overdependence (DO), Dysfunctional Detachment (DD), and Healthy Dependency (HD). The RPT was administered to a community sample of 661 nonclinical Italian adults together with the Attachment Style Questionnaire, the Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the Self-Compassion Scale, the Positive Affect-Negative Affect Scale, and the Toronto Alexithymia Scale. A randomly selected subset of participants (n = 67) completed the RPT again approximately 5 months after the first administration. The factor structure of the RPT obtained in the main sample was compared with that obtained in a sample of 603 adult participants from the US and was found to be similar. Internal consistency for DO, DD, and HD scores in the Italian sample fell between the acceptable to good range, and test-retest reliability coefficients were all above .70. The three scales yielded the expected pattern of correlations with theoretically related constructs, documenting good criterion validity. Findings are discussed in light of the literature on the RPT as a measure of interpersonal dependency and detachment. Suggestions for future research are offered.

摘要

本研究介绍了对意大利背景的关系概况测试 (RPT; Bornstein & Languirand) 的适应情况，这是一种对破坏性过度依赖 (DO)、功能失调分离 (DD) 和健康依赖 (HD) 的自我报告测量。对 661 名非临床意大利成年人的社区样本进行了 RPT 以及依恋风格问卷、关系-相互依赖的自我构念量表、罗森伯格自尊量表、自我同情量表、正面影响 - 负面影响量表、和多伦多述情障碍量表。在第一次给药后大约 5 个月，随机选择的参与者子集 (n = 67) 再次完成了 RPT。将主要样本中获得的 RPT 的因子结构与来自美国的 603 名成年参与者的样本中获得的因子结构进行比较，发现它们相似。意大利样本中 DO、DD 和 HD 分数的内部一致性介于可接受到良好范围之间，重测信度系数均高于 0.70。这三个量表产生了与理论相关结构的预期相关模式，记录了良好的标准效度。研究结果是根据关于 RPT 作为人际依赖和分离的衡量标准的文献进行讨论的。对未来的研究提出了建议。这三个量表产生了与理论相关结构的预期相关模式，记录了良好的标准效度。研究结果是根据关于 RPT 作为人际依赖和分离的衡量标准的文献进行讨论的。对未来的研究提出了建议。这三个量表产生了与理论相关结构的预期相关模式，记录了良好的标准效度。研究结果是根据关于 RPT 作为人际依赖和分离的衡量标准的文献进行讨论的。对未来的研究提出了建议。
