We present a new tool for assessment of couples, the Personal Project Analysis Schedule for Couples (PPAS-C), its theoretical background and first empirical results of a questionnaire study using PPAS-C. Theoretical background: Goals and related self-regulation processes have been previously studied mostly at the individual level. Systemic, couple-centered approaches to these phenomena are largely lacking. Therefore, the basic aim of our ongoing research is to place these concepts in the context of the relationship of a couple by connecting individual aspects of goal striving to the characteristics of the couple’s relational dynamics. Methodology: The PPAS-C adapts individual measures of goal striving to a dyadic context. After individual elicitation of current personal projects, partners are asked to rate their own projects along a series of predefined individual and dyadic aspects of projects, e.g. perceived autonomy and competence support by the partner, the emotional impact and significance of the project in the relationship. In an ongoing questionnaire study we assess married and cohabiting couples with PPAS-C and other measures of mental health and well-being. Conclusions: An important potential of the expected empirical results is their future application in professional praxis. The newly developed PPAS-C questionnaire may be applied in couple counseling and therapy as a diagnostic and intervention tool, since it may shed light on how a certain couple’s relationship has impact on their individual goals, and, in turn, how these characteristics may have an impact on the quality of the relationship.
