CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Any questions left?

What does this questionnaire measure?

It assesses how relationship outcomes are usually explained, either through personal actions and choices or through external forces such as luck, circumstances, or a partner’s influence.

How is it completed?

Read each statement and select the response that best matches the explanation typically used in relationship situations. Answer based on usual patterns rather than a single event.

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

Estimated completion time is about 6 minutes. The questionnaire includes 28 items.

How are the results interpreted?

Scores indicate a dominant internal or external locus of control in relationships. The result reflects attribution style and is not a measure of character, morality, or relationship quality.

What is the recommended use of the results?

Results can guide counseling, coaching, or training goals by identifying whether responsibility is typically minimized or over-assumed. Follow-up discussion is recommended when results appear inconsistent with observed behavior.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Relationship Locus of Control Questionnaire Test

close relationships locus of control

This measure examines perceived control within intimate or close interpersonal relationships. The Relationship Locus of Control Questionnaire is used to characterize the extent to which an individual attributes relationship outcomes to personal influence versus external forces.

It consists of 28 items and typically requires about 6 minutes to complete. Items ask respondents to endorse statements reflecting habitual explanations for relationship successes and difficulties, yielding an index of internal versus external locus of control in the relationship domain.

In clinical and research settings, the Relationship Locus of Control Questionnaire can inform case formulation by clarifying attributional style related to relational events and perceived agency, and it may be used alongside other self-report measures to contextualize interpersonal functioning.
