Previous studies which have used the Marital Patterns Test (Ryle, 1966) have shown that although it has potential in several areas of research, some items of the test are suspect. The validity and internal reliability of several items on the affection scales had particularly been questioned. Internal consistency analysis was used to examine the affection and domination scales for 81 wives and 77 husbands. Resulting recommendations included the exclusion of three affection items, and one item from each of the husband and wife forms of the domination scale. Two new affection items and one new domination item were found to be useful additions. Revised instructions and a revised version of the questionnaire were presented.
以往使用婚姻模式测试（赖尔，1966年）的研究表明，尽管该测试在多个研究领域具有潜力，但测试中的一些项目存在疑问。情感量表上几个项目的效度和内部信度尤其受到质疑。采用内部一致性分析来检验81名妻子和77名丈夫的情感量表和支配量表。得出的建议包括排除三个情感项目，以及从支配量表的丈夫和妻子形式中各排除一个项目。发现两个新的情感项目和一个新的支配项目是有用的补充。还给出了修订后的说明和问卷修订版。
