室友关系是许多刚成年人的社会环境的基础。然而，没有有效的，广泛使用的，室友关系质量的措施存在检查这些关系对个人的功能和健康的影响。在这份报告中，我们提出的因素结构的初步证据，同时效度，结构效度的室友关系量表（RRS）作为室友关系质量的衡量标准，使用的样本美国大学生谁参加了多波研究。在第一波的探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析（CFA）与独立样本的新参与者在随后的两个波显示稳定的因素负荷和充分的配合。此外，该量表在纵向多水平CFA框架中表现出良好的拟合度和可靠性。RRS与关系长度、自尊、外向性、宜人性和主动性显著正相关，与焦虑症状和回避型依恋风格呈负相关，表明量表对这些结构的并行效度。与其他关系类型的研究结果一致，自我报告的RRS分数纵向下降，跨学期和学期之间的学术生活，表明规模的结构效度。我们的结论是，RRS是有用的，用于评估美国大学生之间的室友关系质量，并希望超越。进一步的研究应该验证该量表在其他更多样化的人群中的效用，并完善其潜在的生成心理过程。
Roommate relationships are fundamental to the social environment of many emerging adults. However, no validated, widely used, measure of roommate relationship quality exists for examining the impact of these relationships on individual functioning and health. In this report, we present preliminary evidence of the factor structure, concurrent validity, and construct validity of the Roommate Relationship Scale (RRS) as a measure of roommate relationship quality using a sample of U.S. college students who participated in a multi-wave study. An exploratory factor analysis at the first wave, and confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) with independent samples of new participants at each of two subsequent waves showed stable factor loadings and adequate fit. Moreover, the scale demonstrated good fit and reliability in a longitudinal multilevel CFA framework. The RRS significantly positively correlated with relationship length, self-esteem, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness, and negatively correlated with symptoms of anxiety and avoidant attachment style, indicating concurrent validity of the scale with respect to these constructs. Consistent with findings from other relationship types, self-reported RRS scores decrease longitudinally, both across and between semesters of academic life, indicating construct validity of the scale. We conclude that the RRS is useful for evaluating roommate relationship quality among U.S. college students, and hopefully beyond. Further research should validate the scale’s utility in other, more diverse, populations and refine its underlying generating psychological process.
