This tool is freely available on the web, under both names.
As far as I can tell, it was first released under the name WEB and then changed to the more neutral sounding Relationships Assessment Tool. Some versions have the scale going from Strongly Disagree to Strongly Agree, while others have the reverse. So, I have three questions:
1) From a measurement perspective, is it better to go in one direction or the other in terms of numbering and agree/disagree? and
2) Does anyone know anything about the using this instrument in terms of copyrights, etc.? and
3) This scale is about 20 years old now. Do we know if it still "holds up" as a scale, or is there a better way to measure coercion (without asking 100 questions)?
BTW, the scale is also available in Spanish.
THANKS
Hi Lisa
as a "professional"--I am not aware of any of the particulars of which you are inquiring
As a victim/survivor of being in a battered relationship, I can recall being giving a fairly simple questioner that asked if he had access to guns, etc things of that nature. I would circle yes or no.
I really don't know if it truly makes a difference-regarding ease, or less confusion etc when taking the inventory.
Here's what I found online
