Social Relationship Quality
Relationships between friends, parents and children, spouses or romantic partners, and with other family members are often considered in the appraisal of the quality of one’s relationships. The measures we use to assess social relationship quality evaluate overall levels of satisfaction and contentedness with all relationships in an individual’s life.
