Partner Role Expectations Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs
In couple or marital assessment, the Partner Role Expectations Questionnaire is used to elicit each partner’s expectations regarding roles and responsibilities within the relationship. It provides a structured way to compare partners’ views and identify areas of alignment or discrepancy that may be relevant to clinical formulation and treatment planning.
The measure includes 36 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete. Items query expectations across common domains of couple functioning (e.g., household responsibilities, parenting roles, emotional support, intimacy, and personal or professional interests), allowing the clinician to review patterns that may indicate potential sources of tension or unmet needs. Authorship is attributed to E. E. Filsinger and R. N. Wilson.
The Partner Role Expectations Questionnaire is most informative when both partners complete it, as results are interpreted by examining similarities and differences in reported expectations. Findings are generally used to guide collaborative discussion, clarify implicit assumptions, and support goal setting in couple-focused interventions.
