Resumo(s)
Marital satisfaction is considered a core dimension to understand marriage
quality, influencing individual and family well-being. The Kansas Marital
Satisfaction Scale (KMSS) is one of the most used instruments to assess this
dimension. This study presents the psychometric properties of the KMSS
Portuguese version through two studies. In Study 1, 145 couples (parents of
school-aged children) completed the KMSS, and the Co-parenting Questionnaire
and Inventory of Attachment in Childhood and Adolescence. The one-factor
structure of the KMSS was supported (CFA), and an invariance analysis showed
the same structure for males and females. Preliminary evidence supported
concurrent and discriminant validity, and high reliability (α=.97) was observed.
In Study 2, the factor structure was replicated in an extended sample (361
couples) and invariance tests showed a similar one-factor structure for two stages
of the family life cycle (children 6-12 and 13-18 years). Results indicated the
measure’s suitability for research in the Portuguese context, however, further
study is needed for its clinical use.
