Description Scale

The Sexual Relationship Scale (SRS) is a psychometric tool designed to assess the dimensions and quality of sexual relationships between individuals. This scale focuses on various factors affecting sexual relationships, such as communication, intimacy, satisfaction, and conflict. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive picture of sexual relationships, taking into account both emotional and physical aspects.

Data Analysis and Usage

Data collected through the SRS are used to analyze the quality of sexual relationships and identify areas that may need improvement or intervention. Analysis may include the use of statistical methods to understand the relationships between scale scores and other parameters, such as relationship satisfaction or psychological effects. The results are often used in research to improve relationships through therapeutic approaches or educational programs.

Objective

The primary objective of the SRS is to measure the quality and dynamics of sexual relationships, providing a tool for identifying and addressing issues that may negatively impact the relationship. This helps in creating effective interventions to enhance satisfaction and well-being within the relationship.

Calibration

The SRS uses a Likert scale to score responses, where participants evaluate statements based on their experience and perceptions of their relationship. Overall scores provide an indication of the overall quality and specific aspects of the sexual relationship, allowing for comparisons between different relationships or tracking changes over time.
