	The Multidimensional Relationship Questionnaire (MRQ) by William E. Snell, Jr., Ph.D. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		I tend to be preoccupied with intimate relationships.
		Relationship Preoccupation: Relationship Preoccupation (RP) is defined as the tendency to become absorbed in, obsessed with, and engrossed with the intimate aspects of one's life, to the extent that one virtually excludes from one's mind thoughts of other matters.
		Additionally it was found that a standardized measure of relationship satisfaction was associated with the MRQ subscales; both females and males reported being more satisfied with their intimate relationships to the extent that they reported greater relational-esteem and relational-motivation, and lower relational-anxiety, relational-depression, external-relational-control, and fear of intimate relationships.
