Abstract
For work-family research to progress satisfactorily, investigators need questionnaire instruments that possess adequate construct validity. The Life Role Salience Scales (LRSS) displayed promising psychometric characteristics in the initial normative samples of college students and professional employees. This study provides additional construct validation evidence for the LRSS within a sample of 94 nonprofessional working women. Three kinds of information are examined: (a) comparisons with the original sample in terms of means, intercorrelations, and reliabilities; (b) effects of actual role status on the various life role scales; and (c) evidence of scale convergence and divergence with a selected set of appropriate variables. Overall, with the exception of this study's inability to reproduce the "value" and "commitment" distinctions found in the original analyses, the results of this examination offer reasonable evidence supporting the scales' construct validity and provide another normative base against which future research can be compared.
