Key Research Question

How to assess and interpret risks and resources in romantic relationships?

Background and objective

In couple therapy, a conceptualization of the couple’s key strengths and concerns is often an important clinical task. The AIRR is a multidimensional yet brief self-report measure of relationship health.

Design and method

• Sample: 1,371 representative Danish Citizens, 18-69 years of age, living with romantic partner
• Data: Online Survey, self-reports
• Analyses: Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with split-data design.

Conclusion and implications

Findings support that the AIRR reliably assesses relationship risks and resources.

The AIRR is a flexible tool for case formulation and for measuring progress or effects.
