Predictive validity of the R-URICA.OBJECTIVES
 Researchers have modified a measure of motivation to change to develop the R-URICA (Tambling & Johnson, 2012, Fam. J., 20, 59).


 This manuscript presents the results of an exploration of the validity of the R-URICA in a sample of individuals in couple therapy.  This study presents the results of inquiry into the ways in which scores on the R-URICA are modified over time in therapy, an indicator of the predictive validity of the instrument.

 Results indicated that scores on the Action Subscale of the R-URICA change over time, indicating that therapy positively impacts this aspect of motivation to change.  Results also suggested that the aspects of the R-URICA are related to where couples present for couple therapy and changes in dyadic adjustment in couple therapy.


 Practitioners may wish to consider the use of the R-URICA as an alternative measure of motivation to change in therapy.
