Abstract
Abstract The study examines the preliminary psychometric properties of the Romantic Competence Interview — Italian version (RCI-Iv) for adolescents, a semistructured interview assessing romantic competence adolescents. Participants were 116 Italian adolescents (Mage = 17.61 years) who were administered the RCI-Iv and a survey investigating self-perception, emotion regulation strategies, sexual behaviours, and perceptions of relationship quality. Results showed that the RCI-Iv could be coded reliably. Exploratory factor analysis suggested the one-factor structure and RCI-Iv domains were highly correlated with each other, supporting construct validity. There was evidence of convergent, discriminant, and criterion validity. The study highlights the importance of continuing to study romantic competence in adolescence.
期刊介绍:
This innovative journal provides researchers and practitioners with access to quality, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed articles covering the entire range of fields associated with personal, intimate, organizational and family, and social relationships, development, training and analysis of human relationship skills across the life-span. Originally an initiative of the Psychology of Relationships Interest Group of the Australian Psychological Society, the journal became independent within its first year with the intention of publishing papers from the full array of researchers of relationship. The journal features an experienced and eclectic international Editorial Board and is international in its reach. There is a special emphasis on contributions from Asia, including the subcontinent and Pacific regions but the journal welcomes papers from all other parts of the world.
