Relationship satisfaction is a personal judgment of how a partnership is going and whether needs and hopes feel met. It offers a quick snapshot you can compare over time and use to guide a calm conversation.

You rate seven statements from not at all to very much and the ratings are averaged to a single number. A short label explains the band so you can read the result at a glance and decide what to reinforce or adjust.

Think about the last few weeks and answer honestly. There are no right or wrong responses and small changes from one check to the next are common. A realistic example is noticing strength in commitment while expectations need clearer alignment.

Results are for personal reflection and planning. This tool provides informational estimates and does not substitute professional advice. Results do not constitute a clinical diagnosis.

Technical Details:

The instrument is the Relationship Assessment Scale, a seven‑item self‑report of satisfaction scored on a five‑point response set. Ratings are a point‑in‑time snapshot that works best when the same person repeats it under similar conditions.

Scores are computed by reverse‑coding the problems item and averaging all seven scored values. The mean communicates overall satisfaction on a 1 to 5 scale, where higher values indicate greater satisfaction.

Results are interpreted in four bands that run from very dissatisfied to very satisfied. Values near a boundary should be read cautiously and compared with prior runs before drawing conclusions.

Comparisons are most meaningful within the same relationship. Differences between people can reflect style, context, or expectations rather than true gaps.

y6 = 6−x6 yi=xi for i∈{1,2,3,4,5,7} A= ∑(yi) 7  for i=1 to 7
Symbol Meaning Unit/Datatype Source
xi Raw rating for item i (1 to 7) Integer 1–5 Input
y6 Reverse‑scored problems item (6 − x6) Integer 1–5 Derived
yi Scored item after reversing where needed Integer 1–5 Derived
A Average satisfaction across seven items Real, 1–5 Derived
Bbond Bond subscore: mean of love and commitment Real, 1–5 Derived
Bfulfil Fulfilment subscore: needs met and overall satisfaction Real, 1–5 Derived
E Expectations met (item 4) Integer 1–5 Input
P Fewer problems (reversed item 6) Integer 1–5 Derived
C Compared to peers (item 3) Integer 1–5 Input
Worked example

Responses: 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 2, 4. Item 6 is reversed to 4.

A= 4+4+3+3+4+4+4 7 = 267 ≈3.71

Band: Satisfied. Bond and fulfilment both 4.0; expectations moderate at 3; problems reversed to 4 indicates fewer issues.

Threshold band Lower bound Upper bound Interpretation Action cue
Very Dissatisfied 1.00 2.49 Marked dissatisfaction Identify core needs and consider support
Dissatisfied 2.50 2.99 Some dissatisfaction Pick one small improvement to trial
Satisfied 3.00 3.99 Generally satisfied Reinforce helpful habits
Very Satisfied 4.00 5.00 High satisfaction Maintain rituals and check in monthly

Units, precision, and rounding: inputs are integers 1 to 5. The displayed average is rounded to two decimals using JavaScript’s fixed‑point rounding. The gauge and badges use the same average.

Networking and storage behavior: processing is browser‑based and no responses are uploaded. Sharing a link with the r parameter will reveal encoded selections.

Security considerations: item inputs are numeric and the preload parameter is validated before use. Be mindful when sharing a prefilled link with others.

  • Heads‑up Bands are simple cut‑points and not norm‑referenced.
  • Self‑report can vary with mood or context.
  • One item is reverse‑scored; read labels carefully.
  • Comparisons to peers reflect perception rather than objective rank.
  • Use consistent timing to reduce noise.
  • Do not store sensitive notes in exported files shared widely.
  • Average hides spread; check subscores for nuance.
  • Small week‑to‑week shifts are common.
  • Unanswered items prevent results from appearing.
  • Clipboard copy may require permission.
  • DOCX export depends on browser support for downloads.
  • Blocking script execution disables the gauge.
  • Malformed r strings are ignored.
  • Locale differences do not affect numeric display.
  • Rounding at two decimals can mask tiny changes.
  • Page reload clears transient state.
  • Very uniform answers can inflate or deflate the mean.
  • Sharing a prefilled link exposes your selections.

Privacy & compliance: No data is transmitted or stored server‑side. Exports you download may contain sensitive information; handle responsibly.

Step‑by‑Step Guide:

Relationship satisfaction is summarized from seven ratings to a single average with a clear band.

  1. Select an option for each of the seven statements 1 to 5.
  2. Review the average and band label in the summary.
  3. Scan subscores for bond, fulfilment, expectations, and problems.
  4. Copy or download your answers if you want a record.
  5. Optionally export a DOCX summary for sharing.
Example: if your selections average to 3.71 you will see Satisfied. You might choose one small habit to reinforce next week.
  • Answer with the last few weeks in mind for consistency.
  • Repeat monthly and compare to your own baseline.

FAQ:

Is my data stored?

Processing stays on your device and responses are not uploaded. Sharing a prefilled link will reveal your selections to anyone with it.

Handle exported files with care.
How accurate is the average?

It is the arithmetic mean of seven scored items rounded to two decimals. Accuracy depends on honest, consistent responses and stable conditions.

What does a borderline result mean?

Values near a cut‑point can wobble with day‑to‑day variation. Compare with prior runs and read subscores before acting.

Can I preload answers using a link?

Yes. A seven‑character r code of digits 1 to 5 or dashes can prefill items. Invalid codes are ignored.

What units or formats are used?

Items are integers from 1 to 5. The average shows two decimals. Exports provide a table of items and responses.

Can I use it offline?

Once loaded, it can run without a connection. Some features may depend on your browser’s download support.

Troubleshooting:

  • No result shows — ensure all seven items are answered.
  • Gauge missing — allow scripts to run in this tab.
  • Copy fails — grant clipboard permission or use the download option.
  • DOCX not downloading — check pop‑up or download blockers.
  • Prefill not working — verify the r code has seven characters.
  • Numbers look wrong — remember the problems item is reversed.

Advanced Tips:

  • Use the same time of day to reduce context effects.
  • Compare to your own past results rather than others.
  • Track one small change for two weeks before adding another.
  • Note any big life events that might shift ratings.
  • Use subscores to pick strengths to maintain.
  • Keep prefilled links private if they include your answers.

Outcomes are for reflection. Adjust pace based on your comfort and context.
