Marital Satisfaction Test - Symptoms and Signs
Couples and clinicians may use the Marital Satisfaction Test to obtain a brief self-report snapshot of perceived relationship quality and agreement within a marriage. It is designed to capture each partner’s subjective appraisal of day-to-day functioning and overall satisfaction.
The measure includes 16 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Items query core areas commonly discussed in marital assessment, such as shared values and expectations, areas of concordance and disagreement, and perceived emotional support and comfort within the relationship.
The Marital Satisfaction Test is attributed to G. B. Spanier and R. A. Lewis. Results are generally interpreted as an index of overall marital satisfaction and perceived harmony, and may help guide clinical discussion and treatment planning when used alongside other assessment information.
