The MSAQ is composed of eight subscales:
1) a passionate, romantic approach;
2) a game-playing approach;
3) a companionate, friendship approach;
4) a practical, logical, and shopping-list approach;
5) a dependent, possessive approach;
6) an altruistic, selfless, and all-giving approach;
7) a communal approach to sex (i.e., a sensitive approach to sexual relations that emphasizes caring and concern for a partner's sexual needs and preferences;
8) an exchange approach (i.e., a quid pro quo approach to sex, in which a sexual partner keeps «tabs» on the sexual activities and favors that she or he does for a partner, expecting to be repaid in an exchange fashion at some time in the future of the relationship.
Higher positive (vs. negative) scores correspond to the tendency to approach one's sexual relations in the manner described by each respective subscale.
