We describe the development and validation of the Relationship Self Inventory (RSI), which assesses 2 general self-orientations, (a) the Separate Self (SS) and (b) the Connected Self (CS), as well as two manifestations of connection, (a) Primacy of Other Care and (b) Self and Other Care. The CS reflects the importance of interconnectedness with others and a "voice of caring," whereas the SS reflects autonomy, independence, and a "voice of justice." Adequate reliability was demonstrated for the RSI on samples consisting of 927 women and 218 men ranging in age from 26 to 78. Construct validity of the RSI was also explored in a subsample (n = 604) by comparing its scales with measures of personality, temperament, and psychological adjustment. Although mean scores of men and women differed minimally on the CS and SS scales, gender differences in patterns of correlation with validity measures suggested that the meanings of the scales differed for men and women. The RSI appears to be an adequate survey tool for assessing these self-orientations.
我们描述了关系自我量表（RSI）的开发与验证过程。该量表评估两种一般的自我取向：（a）分离自我（SS）和（b）联结自我（CS），以及联结的两种表现形式：（a）他人关怀至上和（b）自我与他人关怀。CS反映了与他人相互联系的重要性以及“关怀之声”，而SS反映了自主性、独立性和“正义之声”。在由927名女性和218名男性组成的样本中（年龄范围为26至78岁），RSI展现出了足够的信度。通过将RSI的量表与人格、气质和心理调适的测量方法进行比较，还在一个子样本（n = 604）中探究了RSI的结构效度。尽管男性和女性在CS和SS量表上的平均分差异极小，但与效度测量的相关模式中的性别差异表明，这些量表对男性和女性的意义有所不同。RSI似乎是评估这些自我取向的一种合适的调查工具。
