INTRODUCCIÓN: La tendencia central de la satisfacción con la relación y su asociación con variables poblacionales se suelen estimar usando muestreos no probabilísticos. OBJETIVOS: describir la distribución de la Escala de Valoración de la Relación (RAS) de Hendrick en población general de la ciudad de Monterrey, México; estudiar su asociación con variables demográficas y de religiosidad; especificar un modelo predictivo; y contrastar su invarianza entre ambos sexos. METODO: Se empleó un muestreo probabilístico, usando el método de rutas aleatorias, y se aplicó la RAS a 431 mujeres y 376 hombres. RESULTADOS:La distribución de la RAS presentó asimetría negativa. La RAS mostró diferencia entre personas casadas y en unión libre, pero no entre ambos sexos; correlacionó con el número de hijos, convicción religiosa, práctica religiosa, escolaridad, ingresos económicos y estatus laboral; y fue independiente de la edad y años de relación. Con buen ajuste e invarianza entre ambos sexos, estar casado, menor número de hijos y mayor práctica religiosa predijeron mayor satisfacción con la relación.CONCLUSION: la escala debe ser baremada por cuantiles, requiriendo baremos diferenciales por estado civil, pero no por sexo.Un modelo integrado sólo por variables demográficas y de religiosidad tiene capacidad predictiva pequeña.

 

INTRODUCTION: Central tendency of satisfaction with the relationship and its association with population variables tend to be measured by means of nonprobability sampling. OBJECTIVES: 1. Describe the distribution of Hendrick’s RAS in the general population of Monterrey city, Mexico. 2. Study the association of such distribution across demographic variables and religiosity. 3. Specify a predicting model for satisfaction with the relationship. 4. Contrast its invariance in both sexes. METHOD: A probability sampling was employed, using the random routes method. Also, the RAS was applied to 431 women and 376 men. RESULTS: The RAS distribution resulted in negative asymmetry. This scale registered differences between married couples and non-married couples, but not between sexes. It correlated with number of children, religious orientation, religious practice, school level, economic income and occupational status, but was independent from age and years of relationship. With invariance between both sexes, being married, less number of children and more religious practice predicted higher satisfaction with the relationship. CONCLUSION: The scale should be divided by quantiles, requiring different scales for marital status but not for sex. An integrated model consisting only of demographic variables and religiosity has a small predicting capacity.
