This three-item scale measures how strongly a person in a relationship, such as a marriage, sees themselves as a good partner who contributes a great deal to the couple's shared goals. Nikolova and Nenkov (2022) used it with 405 married MTurk participants in a study reported in their web appendix, as part of research on relationship power and sequential decisions in couples' joint goal pursuit. The authors appear to have written the items, drawing on concepts from Khan and Dhar (2006).
Likely 7-point Likert (number of points and anchors not reported; probably strongly disagree / strongly agree)

Alpha was .93 (Nikolova and Nenkov 2022, web appendix, p. 36). Validity was not discussed. Each blank is filled with a type of goal (e.g., financial). The number of scale points and the anchors were not reported; a 7-point disagree/agree format, like most other scales in the article, is likely.
