Abstract
BACKGROUND: The present study investigates the reliability and validity of the Positive-Negative Relationship Quality (PN-RQ) scale in Turkey. This study aims to test different factorial models including orthogonal factors model, correlated factors model, one-factor model, and bifactor model.Entities:
Keywords: bifactor; confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); positive–negative relationship quality; reliability; validity
