摘要:This study refers to the semantic adaptation and factorial validation of the IBM – Intimate Bond Measure, that identifies the nature of intimate relationships. It was done the semantic validation and the scale was applicated in 203 subjects that kept intimate relationships, 72% were women with an average of 36, different schooling levels and 55 professions. The factorability of the sample was appropriated (KMO was 0,91; Bartlett’s test, c 2 = 3281,16, p d 0,001), the data were subjected to principal components analysis, oblique rotation, because of the negative interdependence among factors. The analysis identified two components with eigenvalue > 1,5, with loadings, > 35 of the items: Care with Cronbach’s Alpha = .94 and Control with Cronbach’s Alpha = .88. This components explained 50% of total variance. No difference was found between the structure of the original scale and the one in the present study, showing that the intimate relationships don’t suffer cultural or socio-demografic influences. The results revealed good psychometric quality of the scale.
