Abstract
This study examines the unidimensionality and internal consistency of the Dyadic Trust Scale (DTS; Larzelere & Huston, 1980) with individuals in same-sex romantic relationships. A sample of 141 participants, consisting of 30 gay men and 111 lesbians of various ages, cultures, and socioeconomic backgrounds, responded to the questionnaire. Participants were recruited by posters and pamphlets distributed throughout the Canadian capital. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to determine the factor structure of the scale. The internal consistency of the scale was determined with Cronbach's alpha. Results support a one-factor model structure and also indicate that DTS items demonstrate strong internal consistency, thus replicating the results from the original DTS study.
