How to select values in a Drop down box within JS

Good evening, I am attempting to access a drop down list, however,  I can't seem to change the value of the Drop down box within JS.  Here is my code:

       var ListOne = this.getField("relationship.0");

       var search = ListOne.getItemAt[1];

       console.println(search.value);

I can print out the current value that's set in the drop down list, but I can't set it to, "Mother" or, "Brother."

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your code contains multiple errors, but at any rate you can't set the value of a specific item in the list, only the entire list as a whole, using the setItems method.

    Works grand now, here is an example of the code that works as intended:

    var ListOne = this.getField("relationship.0");

    ListOne.setItems(["Brother from another Mother"]);

    console.println(ListOne.value);

    Simple as that, thank you.
