This study describes the development of the Couples Closeness Distance Scale (CCDS) a quantitative tool for evaluation of joint drawing tasks informed by attachment theory concepts of closeness and distance and art therapy-based phenomenological theory. The scale development process was based on the observer version of the Therapeutic-Distance-Scale (TDS-O). Fourteen romantically involved couples drew together on a shared sheet of paper twice, and then took part in a joint interview. Pictorial phenomena that may indicate issues of distance and closeness were identified by a five-member analysis team, and then added to the TDS items. During the process, adjustments were made in the wording of some of the TDS items for the purpose of the current scale. In the process of formulating the items, the ICC was calculated, and certain items were redefined for suitability and accuracy. The final version of the CCDS includes four dimensions: Too Distant (ICC0.91–0.96), Too Close (ICC0.66–0.92), Autonomy (ICC0.70–0.81), and Engagement- Appropriate Closeness (ICC0.75–0.97). The use of the scale is demonstrated by means of three examples. Potential uses and limitations of the scale are presented in the discussion section.

本研究描述了夫妻亲密距离量表（CCDS）的发展一种评估联合绘画任务的定量工具，由依恋理论的亲密和距离概念以及基于艺术治疗的现象学理论提供信息。量表开发过程基于观察者版本的治疗距离量表 (TDS-O)。十四对热恋中的情侣在一张共同的纸上聚集了两次，然后参加了联合采访。由五人组成的分析小组识别出可能表明距离和接近问题的图像现象，然后将其添加到 TDS 项目中。在此过程中，为了适应当前的规模，对一些TDS项目的措辞进行了调整。在制定项目的过程中，计算了ICC，并重新定义了某些项目以确保其适用性和准确性。ICC 0.91–0.96）、太亲密（ICC 0.66–0.92）、自主性（ICC 0.70–0.81）和参与度-适当的紧密度（ICC 0.75–0.97）。通过三个例子演示了量表的使用。讨论部分介绍了该量表的潜在用途和局限性。
