The author noted that HWEW might more properly be called Partner Emotion Work (PEW). The HWEW (PEW) is a 15-item Likert-type questionnaire that assesses partners' perceptions of the work they put into caring for each other's emotional needs.
The PSDR consists of three scales with a total of 37 Likert-type items to examine aspects of communication and interpersonal activity in intimate relationships.
