What is it about?
This study examined the psychometric properties of Retired Spousal Intrusion Scale (SRSI). The calibration study was conducted with a sample of women (n = 687) whose husbands were retired, resulting in a one factor scale consisting of six items. Validation study, discriminant validity and test-retest were conducted in a second sample of women (n = 756) whose husbands were retired. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the unidimensional factor model had adequate fit. In addition, the correlation of the SRSI with conceptually unrelated measures (dyadic adjustment scale and quality of life) supported the discriminant validity of the SRSI. Finally, analyses showed that SRSI is a valid and reliable measure to assess retired husbands’ intrusion on their wives.

Why is it important?
This is the first measure to assess retired husbands’ intrusion on their wives.
Perspectives
To our knowledge, no measure has been developed concerning spousal intrusion felt by women in their husbands’ retirement. Validating the scale, it could be used to determine the level of spousal intrusion amongwiveswhose husbands are retired. In otherwords, this scale will shed light on the effect of retirement on women.
