The reliability and validity of the Attachment Q Sort (AQS; Waters & Deane, 1985) was tested in a series of meta-analyses on 139 studies with 13,835 children. The observer AQS security score showed convergent validity with Strange Situation procedure (SSP) security (r = .31) and excellent predictive validity with sensitivity measures (r = .39). Its association with temperament was weaker (r = .16), which supports the discriminant validity of the observer AQS. Studies on the stability of the observer AQS are still relatively scarce but they have yielded promising results (mean r = .28; k = 4, n = 162). It is concluded that the observer AQS, but not the self-reported AQS, is a valid measure of attachment.
依恋Q分类法（AQS；沃特斯和迪恩，1985年）的信效度在一系列对139项研究、涉及13835名儿童的元分析中得到了检验。观察者AQS安全性得分与陌生情境程序（SSP）安全性具有收敛效度（r = 0.31），与敏感性测量具有出色的预测效度（r = 0.39）。它与气质的关联较弱（r = 0.16），这支持了观察者AQS的区分效度。关于观察者AQS稳定性的研究仍然相对较少，但已产生了有前景的结果（平均r = 0.28；k = 4，n = 162）。得出的结论是，观察者AQS是一种有效的依恋测量方法，而自我报告的AQS则不然。
