family adaptation family

This brief self-report measure is used to quantify perceived relationship satisfaction in partnered adults. The Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI) provides a standardized summary of overall contentment and strain within the relationship.

The instrument contains 32 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Item content samples common domains of relationship functioning (e.g., global satisfaction and perceived quality of interaction), yielding a total score that can be used to support clinical formulation, treatment planning, or research analyses.
