This study demonstrated the usefulness of the KMSS and RDAS in distinguishing between the martially distressed. For conceptual and statistical clarity, many martial interaction and martial therapy research measures, use a single cutoff score. It was determined that the cutoff score is 17 for the Kansas Martial Satisfaction Scale (KMSS) and 48 for the Revised Dyadic Adjustment Scale (RDAS) for husbands, wives, and couples. An equivalency table of mathematical formulas is also presented, allowing the conversion of individual and couple scores from one measure of martial quality to another. It is now possible to convert a score from any one of a number of instruments (KMSS, RDAS, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, Martial Adjustment Test, Revised Martial Adjustment Test) to an equivalent score as measured by another instrument.
