               In every relationship there are behaviors one or both partners seek to change. Behaviors may
               occur either too often or not often enough. For example, a partner may be dissatisfied because
               the other takes out the garbage only once a week. The desired change would be for this havior
               to occur more often. On the other hand, one might be dissatisfied because too much time was
               being spent cleaning up the house; in this case the desired change would be for this behavior o
               occur less often. In other words, a person's dissatisfaction with partner performance of a
               particular behavior can be expressed as a desire for a behavior to occur either more or less
               often.

          The following pages list typical behaviors which can cause relationship dissatisfactions.
          As you  read each item, decide whether you are satisfied with your partner's
          performance described in that item. If  you are satisfied with your partner's performance
          or if an item is not relevant to you,  check the zero  point on the scale, meaning
         "NO CHANGE DESIRED."

          If you are 'not satisfied’ with your partner's performance in a particular item,
         indicate the  direction  of change in behavior you would like to see. Use the rating
         scale accompanying each  item. If you would prefer to see a particular behavior occur
         less often, make a check mark (\/) on the "minus"  half of the rating scale and indicate
         how much less you would like this behavior to occur. If you would prefer to see a
        particular behavior occur more often, make a check mark on  the "plus" half  of the
        rating scale to indicate how much more you would like this behavior to  occur. Finally,
        as you go through the list, please indicate which items you consider to be of major
         importance in your relationship.
