Self-report questionnaires have facilitated attachment research, and validation of these instruments in different languages and cultures has become of importance. The Experiences in Close Relationships measure (ECR) is a well-established and suitable tool for cross-cultural comparisons of adult attachment.
The aim of this study was to assess the psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the ECR and to develop a shorter version. We also investigated the associations between socio-demographic characteristics and attachment styles as measured by the ECR on the anxiety and avoidance subscales.
Data were anonymously collected by a mailed questionnaire to young adults aged 30, 40 and 45 years. With a response rate of 29%, 437 individuals were included. Exploratory factor analysis was performed and confirmatory factor analysis was done by structural equation modelling.
The psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of the ECR were satisfying and comparable with the properties reported by other translations. Individuals who scored low on both avoidance and anxiety scales were more likely to live in paired relations, have paid work, rate themselves with good health and in general be more satisfied with their lives. A new 12 item short version of the ECR showed good psychometric properties and similar associations to socio-demographic variables. Taking into account its brevity and feasibility further research on attachment style with ECR in clinical samples should be performed.
自陈问卷推动了依恋研究，在不同语言和文化中对这些工具进行验证变得至关重要。亲密关系体验量表（ECR）是一种成熟且适用于成人依恋跨文化比较的工具。
本研究旨在评估挪威语版ECR的心理测量特性并开发一个简短版本。我们还研究了社会人口学特征与ECR焦虑和回避分量表所测量的依恋风格之间的关联。
通过邮寄问卷对30、40和45岁的年轻人进行匿名数据收集。回复率为29%，纳入了437名个体。进行了探索性因素分析，并通过结构方程模型进行了验证性因素分析。
挪威语版ECR的心理测量特性令人满意，与其他翻译版本报告的特性相当。在回避和焦虑量表上得分较低的个体更有可能处于恋爱关系中、有带薪工作、自我评估健康状况良好且总体上对自己的生活更满意。一个新的12项简短版ECR显示出良好的心理测量特性，并且与社会人口学变量有类似的关联。考虑到其简洁性和可行性，应在临床样本中对使用ECR进行依恋风格的进一步研究。
