Adaptation of the Spousal Social Support Scale for Married Early Adult Women

This study aims to adapt the scale of spousal social support constructed by Dorio for use by married early adult women. This study involved 150 women aged 18-25 years as respondents. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to determine evidence of validity based on its internal structure using the Jeffreys’s Amazing Statistic Program (JASP) 0.19.0.30 application. The reliability of the spousal social support scale using construct reliability (CR) as part of the CFA analysis. The results showed a fit model with CFI=0.920; TLI=0.911; PNFI=0.735; IFI=0.921; RMSEA=0.666; SRMR=0.053 consisting of 20 items. This adapted spousal support scale can be used as a valid measuring instrument based on its internal structure and is reliable for future research on married early adult women. However, further improvements and adjustments still need to be made to make it a more reliable instrument.
