Keywords: | Adolescent; Adult; Aged; Anxiety; Depression; Factor Analysis, Statistical; Personality Tests; Portugal; Psychometrics; Reproducibility of Results; Sex Factors; Young Adult; Interpersonal Relations; Object Attachment | Issue Date: | 2014 | Serial title, monograph or event: | Journal of Personality Assessment | Volume: | 97 | Issue: | 1 | Abstract: | The Experiences in Close Relationships-Relationship Structures questionnaire (ECR-RS) is one of the most recent measures of adult attachment. This instrument provides a contextual assessment of attachment-related anxiety and avoidance by measuring these dimensions in various close relationships (mother, father, partner, friend). To further explore its psychometric properties and cross-cultural adequacy, this study presents the validation of the ECR-RS in a sample of Portuguese community individuals (N = 236). The Portuguese version showed adequate reliability and construct validity. The original 2-factor structure was confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis. The ECR-RS is a psychometrically robust measure of attachment, representing an important advance in the measurement of adult attachment. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/47315 | DOI: | 10.1080/00223891.2014.950377 | Rights: | openAccess |
