Attachment Style Questionnaire

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.

The Relationship

The present study aims to analyze the relationships between attachment styles (avoidant and anxious) and cognitive schemas and also the role of intelligence in this relationship. The participants of the study were 62 psychologists or future psychologists aged between 23 and 51 years, M = 34.38, SD = 7.18. Of these, 12 were psychology students, 54 were autonomous psychologists, and two were experimented psychologists. Four of the participants were men, and 68 were women. As for marital status, 23 were unmarried, 19 were in a relationship, and 30 were married. The instruments used were The Attachment Style Questionnaire, ASQ (α = .94), Young Cognitive Schema Questionnaire - Short Form, YSQ-S3 (α = .98), and Analogical Transfer Test (CAS++) for the measurement of intelligence. The results showed that avoidant and anxious attachment styles are positively associated with the development of maladaptive cognitive schemas in all the five domains. Intelligence does not moderate the relationship between attachment styles and cognitive schemas. In the personal development of psychologists and psychotherapists, it is necessary to augment maladaptive cognitive schemas through specific psychoeducational programs. Further studies are needed to identify other factors that may be involved in the development of cognitive schemas.

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.

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.

Background. The Vulnerable Attachment Style Questionnaire (VASQ) was developed to provide a brief self-report tool to assess adult attachment style in relation to depression and validated against an existing investigator-based interview (Attachment Style Interview – ASI). This paper describes the development and scoring of the VASQ and its relationship to poor support and major depression.Method. Items for the VASQ reflected behaviours, emotions and attitudes relating to attachment relationship style, drawn directly from the ASI. The VASQ was validated against the ASI for 262 community-based subjects. Test–retest was determined on 38 subjects.Results. Factor analysis derived two factors, labelled ‘insecurity’ and ‘proximity-seeking’. The VASQ insecurity dimension had highest mean scores for those with interview-based Angry-dismissive and Fearful styles and was significantly correlated with degree of interview-based insecurity. The proximity-seeking VASQ scores had highest mean for those with Enmeshed interview attachment style and was uncorrelated with ASI insecurity. VASQ scores were highly correlated with a well-known self-report measure of insecure attachment (Relationship Questionnaire) and text–retest reliability of the VASQ was satisfactory. The total VASQ score and the insecurity subscale proved highly related to poor support and to depressive disorder. This was not the case for the proximity-seeking subscale.Conclusion. The VASQ is a brief self-report measure that distinguishes individuals with attachment styles vulnerable for depressive disorder. The use of the measure for screening in research and clinical contexts is discussed.
