Abstract
The assessment of ego-centered social networks and relationship qualities are known as time consuming and complex procedures. Results on three age-diverse samples (study 1: N = 957, age diverse internet-based sample; study 2: N = 342, middle aged community sample; study 3: N = 199, older parents) illustrated the suitability of a self-administered pc-based assessment of ego-centered network and four easy-to-use pictorial items for relationship evaluations. Results indicated diverse structures of ego-centered social networks across samples, family types and age groups. Pictorial items showed to be reliable and valid items, representing convenient measures of relationship perceptions.
