Note. Reliability is “marginal reliability” derived from IRT analysis; stability coefficients are six-month correlations; ^a and ^b denote greater stability or concurrent validity correlations for the Original scoring in comparison with the Reitman/Rhoades and Most Informative scorings, respectively, judged by the Z-based Pearson-Filon test (stability correlations) and Steiger's Z (concurrent validity correlations); QMI = Quality of Marriage Index (couple average); EXT = child externalizing (couple average).

All correlations are significant at p < .05 or better.
