Objective: This study aimed at examining the internal consistency, construct validity, and factor structure of the Chinese version of the Interactional Problem-Solving Inventory, which, in the original Dutch version, assesses people’s abilities to solve marital problems. Method: 335 Chinese respondents in Hong Kong with and without significant marital problems were recruited to fill in the inventory. Results: The scale scores had an alpha value of .91. The inventory correlated with marital satisfaction and discriminated between groups with and without marital problems. Principal components analysis revealed two interpretable factors, namely, General Problem Orientation and Couple Communication. Conclusions: The Chinese version of the inventory demonstrates adequate internal consistency and construct validity for use in assessing marital problem solving in marital training and treatment.
