| description | Aim and Background: The aim of this study was constructing and validating the scale of expressive and instrumental behaviors of couple's relationship. Methods and Materials: The population includes all married people in telegram's groups, population of Tehran citizens and sports spaces in Sa'adat Abad district of Tehran. The entering criteria is three-month-married couples who can read and write. Sampling was based on Convenience sampling method. Findings: Based on the results of performing factor analysis with Varimax rotation and factor load of at least 0.3 in five stages, finally, twenty-two items remained in five factors. The first five-item-factor entitled self-expressive and self-instrumental behaviors (α=0.818), the second five-item-factor is expressive behaviors related to relationship (α=0.824), the third five-item-factor called expressive and instrumental behaviors related to spouse (α=0.715), the fourth three-item-factor entitled instrumental behaviors related to relationship (α=0.827), and the fifth four-item-factor called expressive and instrumental behaviors related to environment (α=0.756). The total Cronbach's alpha coefficient is 0.861. Conclusions: According to Epstein-Baucom theory, the expressive and instrumental behaviors are in four realms- self-centered, relationship, spouse, environment-and eight factors in total. But in interviewing the four couples, it was revealed that people were not completely able to differentiate between expressive and instrumental behaviors. In the exploratory factor analysis, it was also concluded that except in the realm of the relationship, the expressive and instrumental behaviors were not separated in other three realms. |
