Authenticity in Relationships Scale (AIRS) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief self-report measure evaluates perceived authenticity and openness within romantic relationships. The Authenticity in Relationships Scale (AIRS) assesses tendencies toward honesty versus deception and willingness to engage in emotionally vulnerable communication with a partner.
Developed by Michael W. Kernis and Brian M. Goldman, it consists of 10 items and typically requires about 2 minutes to complete. Scores from the Authenticity in Relationships Scale (AIRS) may be used in clinical or research settings to characterize relational communication patterns and identify potential barriers to intimacy, while remaining interpretive and context-dependent.
