This paper reports the results of an initial investigation of the psychometric properties of a new clinical marital communication assessment instrument, the Clinician Rating of Adult Communication (CRAC). The sample consisted of 36 marital communication samples from both maritally satisfied and distressed couples. Reliability results indicated that the CRAC demonstrated high levels of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and interrater agreement. Support for the validity of the CRAC was found in its correspondence with a marital interaction coding system, its relationship to ratings of marital satisfaction, and its concordance with couples' perceptions of their conflict management behavior. Overall, these findings support the conclusion that the CRAC may provide a useful addition to the measurement armamentarium of the marital clinician and researcher.
本文报告了一项对一种新的临床婚姻沟通评估工具——成人沟通临床评定量表（CRAC）的心理测量特性进行初步调查的结果。样本包括来自婚姻美满和婚姻困扰夫妻的36个婚姻沟通样本。信度结果表明，CRAC表现出高度的内部一致性、重测信度和评分者间一致性。CRAC的有效性在其与婚姻互动编码系统的对应关系、与婚姻满意度评分的关系以及与夫妻对其冲突管理行为的认知的一致性方面得到了支持。总体而言，这些发现支持了这样的结论，即CRAC可能为婚姻临床医生和研究人员的测量工具库提供有益补充。
