The Psychometric Properties and Factor Structure of the Persian version of Romantic Love Myths Questionnaire
The present study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Romantic Love Myths Questionnaire (RLMQ) developed by Lara and Gómez-Urrutia (2021). The research method is validation and the research population includes all individuals aged 18-24 born and resident in Iran in 2021-2022. 364 individuals were selected through the convenience sampling method. Being translated and back-translated, the Persian version of RLMQ was prepared and administered with other scales- The dating Violence questionnaire (Rodríguez-Díaz et al., 2017) and Perceived Relationship Quality Components Short Form (Demir, 2008). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was implemented to investigate the validity of the questionnaire and convergent and divergent validity of the questionnaire were evaluated with other scales. CFA results point out that the Persian version of RLMQ has a two-factor structure (idealization and love–abuse) like the original form. The reliability of the questionnaire was assessed by Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability. The significant correlation of factors with the used scales pointed to the content validity and divergent validity of the questionnaire. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire questionnaire was 0.70. The composite reliability for idealization and love abuse were respectively 0.81 and 0.83. Regarding the fact that the composite reliability was greater than 0.80 and the average variance extracted (AVE) for both factors was above 0.5, the convergent validity of the factors was confirmed. According to the results, the Persian version of RLMQ is a valid questionnaire for use in Iranian populations.
