abstract = {Background: The different conflict resolution strategies that couples
use are crucial in preserving or ending their relationships. Despite the
importance of these strategies, no instrument for measuring them has
been adequately adapted to Spanish culture. The goal of this study is to
adapt the Accommodation among Romantic Couples Scale to Spanish
culture, filling this gap by providing a rigorous instrument to evaluate
the construct. Method: A total of 489 participants from the general
population responded to the instrument after adaptation. The scale’s
psychometric properties were then evaluated from a classical perspective.
Results: The indexes of fit from confirmatory factor analysis indicated
good fi t to the four-factor structure proposed by the authors of the original
scale: voice, loyalty, exit, and neglect. The reliability of these dimensions
was similar to that obtained in the original version. Evidence of validity
relative to other variables indicated good convergent and discriminant
validity. Conclusions: The Spanish version of the Accommodation
among Romantic Couples Scale is a reliable instrument with sufficient
valid evidence to provide accurate measurement of conflict resolution
strategies in couple relationships.},

mantenimiento o la ruptura de las relaciones. A pesar de su importancia,
no existe un instrumento de medida adecuadamente adaptado a la

español de la Accommodation among Romantic Couples Scale (ARCS)

continuación se evaluaron las propiedades psicométricas de la escala

análisis factorial confirmatorio indicaron un buen ajuste a la estructura
tetrafactorial propuesta por los autores de la escala original: expresión,
lealtad, huida y negligencia. La fiabilidad de dichas dimensiones fue
similar a la obtenida en la versión original. Las evidencias de validez
en relación con otras variables indicaron una adecuada validez tanto
convergente como discriminante. Conclusiones: la versión española de
la Accommodation among Romantic Couples Scale es un instrumento
fiable y con suficientes evidencias de validez para medir las estrategias de
resolución de conflictos en la pareja de un modo adecuado.},
