Zusammenfassung. Theoretischer Hintergrund: Der Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ) erfasst Selbsteinschätzungen in Bezug auf Bindungsstile. Fragestellung: Die deutschsprachige Version des ASQ wurde validiert. Methode: Zur Überprüfung der konvergenten Validität wurden die 20-Item Toronto Alexithymie Skala (TAS-20), das Screening für somatoforme Störungen (SOMS) und das Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) vorgegeben, sowie Gruppenvergleiche und eine Clusteranalyse durchgeführt. Ergebnisse: In Übereinstimmung mit der englischsprachigen Version des ASQ führt auch bei der deutschsprachigen Version eine Faktorenanalyse zu einer 5-Faktorenlösung, die insgesamt 49,4% der Gesamtvarianz erklärt. Hoch signifikante Gruppenunterschiede zwischen Personen mit und ohne psychiatrische Diagnose konnten in den fünf Skalen festgestellt werden. Schlussfolgerungen: Die deutschsprachige Version des ASQ stellt insgesamt ein brauchbares Instrument für die Identifikation von Bindungsverhalten dar.

Alexithymia and its relation with attachment style were evaluated in a group of 69 patients (men, M age = 46.4 yr., SD =12.6; women, M age = 44.2 yr., SD = 14.4) affected by Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. Two self-evaluation questionnaires were used for psychological evaluation, the 20 item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20) and the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ). The TAS-20 analysis showed that the clinical sample taken as a whole did not score in the alexithymic range. The inverse correlations between the Confidence ASQ subscale and the Difficulty Communicating Feelings TAS-20 subscale showed that communication of emotions could develop more easily within the framework of a relational context characterized by safety and confidence. In this group of patients this was represented by the referent caregiver.

Incarcerated Adolescents

This study examines the relationships between the bonding style of an incarcerated adolescent with parents and his/her current feelings of self-esteem, hopelessness, and suicidal thoughts and attempts. It also investigates differences between bonding to mother and bonding to father. Some 296 incarcerated adolescents were interviewed using the Parental Bonding Instrument. Significant relationships were found between youths' self-esteem, hopelessness, and suicidal behavior and their bonding style. Youths whose parent(s) had a parental bonding style of affectionless control reported the greatest distress, and youths whose parent(s) had an optimal bonding style reported the least distress. Differences were found between bonding styles with the mother and with the father. Attachment theory may be useful in targeting incarcerated youths who have affectionless control bonding with parent(s) for special interventions since these youths are most at risk for psychosocial problems.

Background.Attachment theory proposes that psychological functioning and affect regulations are influenced by the attachment we form with others. Early relationships with parents or caregivers lay the foundations for attachment styles. These styles are proposed to influence how we relate to others during our life can be modified by the relationships and events we experience in our lifespan. A secure attachment style is associated with a capacity to manage distress, comfort with autonomy and the ability to form relationships with others, whereas insecure attachment can lead to dysfunctional relationships, emotional and behaviour avoidance. Attachment theory provides a useful framework to inform our understanding of relationship difficulties in people with psychosis. This paper aims to complement recent systematic reviews by providing an overview of attachment theory, its application to psychosis, including an understanding of measurement issues and the clinical implications offered.Method.A narrative review was completed of the measures of attachment and parental bonding in psychosis. Its clinical implications are also discussed. The paper also explores the link between insecure attachment styles and illness course, social functioning and symptomatology. The following questions are addressed: What are the key attachment measures that have been used within the attachment and psychosis literature? What are the results of studies that have measured attachment or parental bonding in psychosis and what clinical implications can we derive from it? What are some of the key questions for future research from these findings in relation to the onset of psychosis research field?Results.The most commonly used measures of attachment in psychosis research are reviewed. Self-report questionnaires and semi-structured interviews have mainly been used to examine attachment styles in adult samples and in recent years comprise a measure specifically developed for a psychosis group. The review suggests that insecure attachment styles are common in psychosis samples. Key relationships were observed between insecure, avoidant and anxious attachment styles and psychosis development, expression and long-term outcome.Conclusions.Attachment theory can provide a useful framework to facilitate our understanding of interpersonal difficulties in psychosis that may predate its onset and impact on observed variability in outcomes, including treatment engagement. Greater attention should be given to the assessment of attachment needs and to the development of interventions that seek to compensate for these difficulties. However, further investigations are required on specifying the exact mechanisms by which specific attachment styles impact on the development of psychosis and its course.

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a short-form version of the Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ) in people with disabilities. The construction sample consisted of 108 participants recruited from spinal cord injury (SCI) advocacy organizations. The cross-validation sample comprised 140 individuals with traumatic injuries recruited from a rehabilitation hospital. Measures administered were the ASQ, Trait Hope Scale, Sense of Coherence Scale, and Satisfaction With Life Scale. Results showed that the three subscales of secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment from the short-form ASQ had high correlations with the three subscales from the long-form ASQ. The reliability of the subscales for the short-form ASQ was adequate and similar to the long-form ASQ. Both the short- and long-form ASQ subscales were found to correlate with hope, sense of coherence, and subjective well-being in the expected theoretical directions. Confirmatory factor analysis also supported the three-factor measurement structure of the short-form ASQ. This study provides evidence to support the psychometric properties of the abbreviated ASQ in people with disabilities. The short-form version of the ASQ is a brief, reliable, and psychometrically sound measure of attachment that can be used in clinical rehabilitation counseling research and practice.

Attachment Style Questionnaire

Nella prima infanzia, gli individui sviluppano stili di attaccamento che possono essere di tipo sicuro versus insicuro, a seconda delle reazioni della figura primaria alle loro richieste di protezione e sicurezza. Il particolare stile di attaccamento sviluppato nella prima infanzia influenza il modello operativo interno, nelle relazioni intime adulte, guidando percezioni, attribuzioni e stile comunicativo tra partner. L'Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ, Feeney, Noller e Hanrahan, 1994) si presenta come un ottimo strumento per la misurazione degli stili di attaccamento in etŕ adulta: e di facile somministrazione e scoring, costa poco, ha ragionevoli proprietŕ psicometriche e validitŕ di criterio. Lo scopo del presente studio e di contribuire alla validazione dell'ASQ nel contesto italiano: 402 studenti universitari hanno partecipato allo studio. I coefficienti di affidabilitŕ variano da .64 a .71, presentando quindi moderati ma soddisfacenti livelli di affidabilitŕ. La validitŕ di criterio, esaminata tramite correlazioni sia tra le sottoscale dell'ASQ, sia tra queste e le descrizioni proposte da Hazan e Shaver (1987), confermano una buona corrispondenza tra lo strumento ed i profili. La struttura fattoriale e stata indagata attraverso analisi fattoriale confermativa che ha mostrato l'adeguatezza del modello a tre fattori: sicuro, evitante, ansioso. I risultati replicano quelli ottenuti da Feeney e colleghi anche nel contesto italiano. L'ASQ si pone dunque come un ottimo strumento auto-somministrabile per la misurazione delle differenze individuali negli stili di attaccamento anche in etŕ adulta. Nella discussione sono affrontate alcune questioni metodologiche legate alla misura dell'attaccamento in etŕ adulta.
