Abstract

Abstract Physical attraction is an important dimension of both romantic and companionate relationship of partners. This article presents a comprehensive cross-cultural validation of the short version of the Physical Attraction Scale (PAS-S) scale — the first and only multidimensional measure of physical attraction available for research and practice. The initial development of the scale was completed in a multisite study conducted with a large sample of university students, largely from the midwest and southeast of the United States. Results demonstrated a two-dimensional factor structure, excellent reliability, and evidence of content, convergent and discriminant validity. The following cross-cultural studies, which used the PAS-S, confirmed its robust factor structure, validity and reliability in the samples from 10 cultural regions in six countries. Therefore, this short version of the PAS-S can be recommended for cross-cultural practice and research. The versions of the scale in English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Georgian are provided in appendices. Based on the results of cross-cultural validation, authors recommend the PAS-S for research purposes and practical use in counselling and therapy. The scale provides a short and informative measure of (1) how a person feels attraction to their partner in close relationships and (2) which aspects of attraction are problematic.

身体吸引力量表-简短版本:跨文化验证

身体吸引是浪漫关系和伴侣关系的一个重要维度。本文对身体吸引力量表(PAS-S)的简短版本进行了全面的跨文化验证，这是第一个也是唯一一个用于研究和实践的身体吸引力多维测量。量表的最初开发是在一项多地点的研究中完成的，研究对象是来自美国中西部和东南部的大量大学生。结果显示二维因子结构，具有良好的信度，证据的内容效度、收敛效度和判别效度。接下来的跨文化研究使用PAS-S，在来自6个国家10个文化区域的样本中证实了其稳健的因素结构、效度和信度。因此，这个简短版本的PAS-S可以推荐给跨文化实践和研究。英文、法文、葡萄牙文、俄文和格鲁吉亚文的比额表载于附录。基于跨文化验证的结果，作者推荐PAS-S用于研究目的和在咨询和治疗中的实际应用。该量表提供了一种简短而翔实的测量方法(1)一个人在亲密关系中如何感受到伴侣的吸引力(2)吸引力的哪些方面存在问题。

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.
