This study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Emotional Intimacy Scale (EIS) in couple relationships in a sample of Puerto Rican adults. A total of 382 Puerto Ricans participated in this exploratory and psychometric study. The results confirmed that the scale has a two-factor structure. These factors were identified as emotional closeness and emotional distance. The 10 items on the scale met the criteria for discrimination and appropriate factor loads (five items per factor). The Cronbach alpha reliability index of the scale was .90. These results suggest that the instrument has the potential to measure this construct in Puerto Rican adults. In addition, the scale will allow the advancement of new research on emotionalintimacy in Puerto Rican and Latin American couples.
