Resumo
Satisfaction and quality of a romantic relationship are aspects related to quality of life, happiness and relationship maintenance. This doctoral research focused on understanding the determinants of quality in romantic relationships and four studies have been conducted: Study I - Development of the Multidimensional Measure of Quality of Romantic Relationships (AQUARELA-R); Study II - Predictive Model of Quality of Romantic Relationships; Study III - Validity and Reliability of Rating Scales of Constructs related to Romantic Relationships; Study IV - Structural Model of Quality in Romantic Relationships. A total of 1918 people of both sexes participated in the four studies. Participants were from four regions of Brazil and 871 (45.1%) were males. The average age of participants was 26.1 years. The results of the first study showed a psychometric instrument with parameters of accuracy and reliability appropriate for the assessment of five domains of quality in a relationship: love, sex, communication, commitment and intimacy. The study demonstrated how two variable components of love, sexual satisfaction and overall satisfaction with life, influence the overall satisfaction with the relationship. In the third study, exploratory and confirmatory aspects of validity and reliability of four psychometric instruments with elements of romantic relationships are reported: small version of the triangular love scale - ETAS, rating scale of quality in romantic relationships - AQUARELA R-marital inventory of social skills - MSSI and range of styles of love - LAS-Bra. The last study in turn presents structural equation models combining the constructs assessed by the scales validated in Study III. As results of this study three general models of quality in romantic relationships are presented: Multidimensional Model of Quality in Romantic Relationships - MMQRR; Model of Emotional-Assertive Quality – MEAQ; Assertive Cognitive Model of Quality - MCAQ. It is concluded that the objectives of this dissertation have been achieved and the model MCAQ was considered the most innovative, demonstrating the relationship of cognitive styles of adaptation, assertive 8 social skills and overall quality in the relationship as important elements in the manifestation of the love construct.
