Abstract
Two studies were carried out to validate the Life Role Salience Scales, designed to provide measures of valuing and commitment to occupational, marital, parental, and home-care roles. In Study 1, 215 employed adults filled out the scales and a measure of job happiness. Scores on the latter did not correlate with those on the Occupational subscale of the Life Role Salience Scales. As predicted, single subjects scored lower on the Parental and Marital subscales and higher on the Occupational subscale than married ones. In Study 2, 81 married couples filled out the Life Role Salience Scales and the Purpose-in-Life Scale. As predicted, the scores were significantly related. Couples' scores were no more similar to each other than those of a matched group of nominally married couples.
