In this study, we aimed to conduct an in-depth psychometric investigation of the Relationships Scales Questionnaire (RSQ).
About 717 UK-based participants responded to an online questionnaire (F = 540, M = 177; age range 18-66 years, M = 25, SD = 8.46). We conducted (a) a series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) to test previously published factor models of the RSQ, (b) traditional (exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis) and contemporary (exploratory graph analysis) exploratory techniques, followed by (c) validity and reliability analyses.
Although the RSQ was developed to assess four categories of adult attachment (typological approach - i.e., secure, preoccupied, dismissing, and fearful), our findings do not support the hypothesis that the RSQ delivers a psychometrically consistent measure of adult attachment styles.
The results of the present study suggest that a two-dimensional approach (i.e., anxiety and avoidance) to assessing adult attachment is optimal.
本研究旨在对关系量表问卷(RSQ)进行深入的心理计量学研究。
约 717 名英国参与者在线回答了问卷(F=540,M=177;年龄范围 18-66 岁,M=25,SD=8.46)。我们进行了一系列验证性因子分析(CFA),以检验 RSQ 的先前发表的因子模型,(b)传统(探索性因子分析和验证性因子分析)和现代(探索性图形分析)探索性技术,接着进行了(c)有效性和可靠性分析。
尽管 RSQ 是为评估成人依恋的四个类别(类型学方法,即安全、专注、回避和恐惧)而开发的,但我们的研究结果并不支持 RSQ 提供成人依恋风格的心理计量一致测量的假设。
本研究的结果表明,评估成人依恋的二维方法(即焦虑和回避)是最佳的。
