Score Estimation File for the Inventory of Romantic Relationship Competence (IRRC) This file enables readers to calculate the estimated latent scores for each subscale of the IRRC when administered with a respondent. Users simply enter the gender and raw scores of the respondents in order to obtain the adjusted latent mean and 95% confidence interval estimates for the IRRC factors. This applet is based on parameter estimates from the final solution obtained, which adjusts for reverse scoring, factor loadings, correlated errors between items, and differential item functioning across gender. The first sheet, “User Interface”, contains a line of columns for users to enter raw scores and obtain the estimated latent scores for each factor. The second sheet, “Parameter Estimates”, contain the parameter estimates used to calculate the estimated latent scores for each factor. To obtain the most precise estimates of latent means, we recommend that users use this applet to calculate subscale scores instead of simply summing or averaging the subscales.

Measuring romantic competence in young adults: The Inventory of Romantic Relationship Competence

This article presents psychometric data for a 35-item self-report instrument measuring romantic relationship competence in two separate samples of young adult college students. In study 1 (N = 219), results from Parallel Analysis and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) suggested the extraction of seven domains of romantic relationship competence: relationship locus of control, perspective taking, intimacy avoidance, emotion regulation, romantic appeal, conflict resolution skills, and temperament. In study 2 (N = 907), a Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) provided support for the aforementioned factor structure albeit with minor revisions (i.e., correlated errors between three pairs of items). MIMIC modeling results provided support for partial measurement invariance across gender. A CFA-based method of estimating scale reliability demonstrated acceptable to good reliability indices. Bivariate correlations with other social competence and self-esteem measures provided support for convergent and divergent validity. An excel-based applet is available to readers who are interested in using the 35-item IRRC with individual respondents (e.g., practitioners). Researchers interested in using the measure within the context of structural equation modeling should model relevant non-invariant parameters before proceeding with the evaluation of structural parameters. This instrument demonstrates promise as an instrument for measuring domains of romantic relationship competence within the emerging adult population.
