We investigated which of two respect measures uniquely predicted relationship satisfaction.  Participants in romantic relationships completed measures of respect toward partner, love styles, and relationship satisfaction. Results found that Frei and Shaver’s (2002) respect measure contributed more unique variance to satisfaction than Hendrick and Hendrick’s (2002) and Frei and Shaver’s measure was a stronger predictor of relationship satisfaction than the six love styles. Significance of results to clinical settings and future research will be discussed.
