CSI
Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI)
The Couples Satisfaction Index (CSI) is a widely used self-report instrument for precisely measuring satisfaction within a couple relationship. Its modern structure is based on a selection of items that capture various key aspects of relationship life, such as communication, affection and overall satisfaction with the relationship. It is available in versions of varying length (4, 16 or 32 items) to suit different clinical and research practices.

Scoring & interpretation
Responses are scored on Likert-type scales (usually from 0 to 5 or 6). The total score is the sum of the responses to the various items. A higher score reflects greater relationship satisfaction. Score cutoffs make it possible to distinguish levels of satisfaction (low, moderate, high). The short versions (CSI-4, CSI-16) use a similar scoring principle.
