Summary/Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to establish the concurrent validity of the Partners Abuse Scale (PAS) with the Revised Conflict Tactics Scales (CTS2). Subjects: A cross- sectional design was employed with 246 men and 399 women (mean age: 24.34 years for men, 26.40 years for women). Procedure: Participants were contacted through an opportunistic (snowball or referral) sampling method and provided informed consent before completing both instruments. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with an oblimin rotation revealed that both instruments explained a similar percentage of variance. Discussion: The CTS2 maintained its hypothesized factor structure, while the PAS developed two new variables.
