CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It measures two components of romantic intimacy: passion and attachment. Passion reflects intense desire and emotional arousal, while attachment reflects closeness, trust, and security.

How long does it take to complete and how many items are included?

It includes 20 items and usually takes about 4 minutes to complete. Most respondents can answer without extended reflection.

What time frame should be used when answering the items?

Respond based on current feelings in the relationship being considered. If feelings have changed recently, use the past few weeks as the reference.

How are results interpreted?

Scores are reported separately for passion and attachment rather than as a single total. Higher scores indicate stronger levels of the corresponding component.

Is it appropriate for clinical or research use?

It can be used as a brief screening measure to describe relationship dynamics in clinical, counseling, or research settings. Results should be interpreted alongside other information and are not a diagnosis.
