• The Turkish Adaptation Study of the Perceived Responsiveness and Insensitivity Scale in the Context of Romantic Relationships (2023) · Nesne Psikoloji Dergisi · doi

  The measurement of perceived partner responsiveness relies on scales developed without consistent construct validity frameworks; while one two-factor measure (Responsiveness and Insensitivity) has been validated, its predictive utility relative to one-dimensional measures across different relationship contexts remains unexplored.

• The Turkish Adaptation Study of the Perceived Responsiveness and Insensitivity Scale in the Context of Romantic Relationships (2023) · Nesne Psikoloji Dergisi · doi

  The measurement of perceived partner responsiveness lacks standardization across studies; while one recent scale (PRIS) demonstrates improved validity, most prior research used single-item or unstandardized measures, limiting comparability and meta-analytic synthesis of findings.

• Perceived Partner Responsiveness Mediates the Association Between Social Anxiety and Relationship Satisfaction in Committed Couples (2015) · Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology · cited 22× · doi

  Perceived partner responsiveness has been studied as a mediator in multiple outcome domains (intimacy, well-being, sexual communication, cyberstalking), but no research integrates these pathways or identifies which outcomes are primary versus secondary consequences of responsiveness perception.

• Patterns of perceived partner responsiveness and well-being in Japan and the United States. (2018) · Journal of Family Psychology · cited 44× · doi

  The cross-cultural generalizability of perceived partner responsiveness effects remains limited; while one study compares the U.S. and Japan, the mechanisms explaining cultural differences in the strength of responsiveness-well-being associations are not examined.
