摘要

Digital technologies are fundamentally woven into the fabric of modern romantic relationships, yet existing measurement tools are often problem-focused, unidimensional, and developed in Western cultures. This creates a critical need for a holistic instrument that assesses the complex role of technology within relationships in diverse cultural contexts. This study aimed to develop and validate the Digital Dynamics in Romantic Relationships Scale, a multidimensional instrument grounded in the Turkish context. Data were collected from two independent samples (total N = 735). Exploratory factor analysis (n = 364) yielded a 53-item, eight-factor structure capturing both constructive (Communication Quality, Commitment, Online-Offline Integration) and destructive (Harassment/Abuse, Digital Surveillance/Control, Jealousy, Conflict, Ghosting) dynamics. Confirmatory factor analysis (n = 371) supported this model with good fit indices (χ²(1286) = 2702.89, CFI = 0.911, TLI = 0.904, SRMR = 0.073, RMSEA = 0.049). The subscales showed strong internal consistency (α = 0.78–0.97) and robust validity. The Digital Dynamics in Romantic Relationships Scale thus offers a psychometrically sound instrument for researchers and clinicians to systematically evaluate the specific digital processes influencing modern partnerships.
