Primary use / Purpose:
Background:
Adlerian psychology is branch of of psychology which emphasizes the uniqueness of human experience. Another characteristic of this approach is its reluctance to embrace standardized approaches to treating individuals. However, one generalization which is regarded as important is the individual's sense of belonging to, or desire to be part of, the community. However, despite the existence of several scales to measure interest in belonging to the community, no scale existed for the purpose of measuring an individuals interest in romantic relationships. This is also an important aspect of the more general interest in participating in society at large. The Adlerian Social Interest Scale-Romantic Relationship Form (ASIS-RR) was developed for this purpose.
Psychometrics:
The psychometric properties of the Adlerian Social Interest Scale-Romantic Relationship Form (ASIS-RR) are discussed in Kalkan (2009).
