Abstract
Abstract The Gay and Lesbian Relationship Satisfaction Scale (GLRSS) was developed to measure relationship satisfaction and social support in same-gender couple relationships. Originally validated with traditional Classical Test Theory psychometrics, this study examined the items themselves more closely by subjecting the data to an Item Response Modeling analysis—specifically utilizing Samejima’s Unidimensional Graded Response Model. Results indicate that each of the subscales of the measure (Relationship Satisfaction and Social Support) do in fact measure the traits intended, providing evidence of content and construct validity. This study further validates the GLRSS as a valuable and reliable tool for use by researchers and clinicians wishing to study same-gender couple relationships.
