Abstract:
Even though previous attachment taxometric studies supported the conclusion that attachment is rather dimensional than categorical construct, they also did not provide consistent support against categorical approach. Addressing limitations of previous taxometric studies on adult attachment, we asked two research questions: Is attachment as measured by the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) categorical or dimensional? What is the predictive validity of categorical and dimensional approaches? To answer these questions, data of the AAS from 869 parents, 575 adolescents, and 500 grandmothers from the same families in Poland were analyzed. Taxometric analyses were replicated across three generations providing weak evidences to support the dimensional approach. Clustering methods provided an additional support revealing that empirically derived categories of attachment are based on security level but not on qualitatively different attachment patterns. Analyses testing predictive effects of categorical compared to dimensional approaches to attachment assessment revealed that a dimensional approach is more valid than a categorical approach in testing hypotheses related to the intergenerational transmission of attachment.

Abstract:
<em>Many opinions state that girls have a tendency to be closer to their fathers than boys. This is because fathers usually reveal soft attitude and a kind way of talking toward his daughter. In addition, fathers also succumb to the demands of his daughter. Conversely, with his son, fathers are usually much more 'rough and tough'. So, girls feels more secure to their fathers than boys. The objective of this study was to determine the differences of attachment style to fathers between early adolescent male and female in seventh grade classes of Junior High School 19 Banda Aceh. The number of samples taken were 60 students. A rating scale was used for collecting data, namely Adult Attachment Scale (AAS). The result obtained from the T-Tests showed there was no significant differences of attachment style to fathers between early adolescents male and female in seventh grade classes of Junior High School 19 Banda Aceh. However, early adolescents prefer to have close attachment style with their fathers.</em>

Abstract:
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether or not the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) can provide information about parent-child attachment that is comparable to information obtained from the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI), a more complex measure of attachment. Method: One hundred and thirty emotionally and/or behaviourally disturbed adolescents (73 male, 57 female; ages 13–19 years, × = 15.3 ± 1.47 years) participating in a study of attachment and suicidality completed the PBI and the AAI. Data from these measures were compared within participants. Results: Maternal care and overprotection on the PBI differed significantly by AAI attachment classification (F3,122 = 2.79, p = 0.012), with autonomous participants showing the most optimal and unresolved participants the least optimal PBI results. Maternal love and maternal involvement/role reversal on the AAI were significant predictors of maternal care and maternal overprotection, respectively, on the PBI (R2 = 0.15; R2 = 0.16). These predictions improved when AAI scales measuring idealisation and involving anger towards the mother were included in the regression analyses (R2 = 0.35; R2 = 0.20). Autonomous participants on AAI showed the highest scale correlations across instruments. Conclusions: Attachment information obtained from the PBI and the AAI is comparable in participants with optimal attachment histories, but not in participants showing idealisation or anger towards their mothers. Caution is, therefore, advisable when using the PBI to obtain attachment information in clinical samples where suboptimal attachment histories are likely.

Abstract:
Background: Psychological characteristics could significantly impact applications for cosmetic surgery as well as precognition and satisfaction with surgery. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between perfectionism, early maladaptive schemas, attachment styles, and body image concern by the mediating role of self-esteem in cosmetic surgery applicants. Methods: This was a predictive correlational study. The statistical population of the study included all female applicants for cosmetic surgery referring to cosmetic surgery centers in Tehran City, Iran, in 2020. A sample size of 400 women was selected based on Klein’s model (2016). The required data were collected by Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) (1989), Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), Young Schema Questionnaire (YSQ-S3), Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), and Body Image Concern Inventory (BICI), and analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equations in SPSS and AMOS. Results: The obtained results signified a significant relationship between perfectionism, early maladaptive schemas, attachment styles, self-esteem, and body image concerns (P<0.01). Furthermore, the modified model presented a good fit (The Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) =0.061, GFI=0.989, IFI=0.987, P<0.05); the indirect paths of perfectionism, early maladaptive schema, and attachment styles through self-esteem were also significant. Conclusion: The evaluated model indicated a good fit; thus, it can play an essential role in recognizing the factors affecting the body image concerns of female cosmetic surgery applicants.

Abstract:
A Collins–Read-féle Felnőtt Kötődési Skála (Adult Attachment Scale, AAS) megbízhatóságának és pszichometriai jellemzőinek vizsgálatát tűztük ki vizsgálatunk céljául. Az AAS-t nemzetközileg széleskörűen használják a felnőtt kötődés jellemzőinek vizsgálatára, azonban érvényességét magyar populáción még nem vizsgálták. Az önkitöltős kérdőív folytonos változóként vizsgálja a kötődési jellemzőket: az eredeti hármas (közelség, függőség, szorongás) és az alternatív kettes (szorongás és elkerülés) felosztás szerint. A pszichometriai mérést 508 fős populáción végeztük, melyben depressziós anamnézisű személyek (n = 264, medián életkor = 25,7 év) és azok nem depressziós testvérei (n = 244, medián életkor = 24,0 év) szerepeltek. A kérdőív belső megbízhatósága a közelség, szorongás és az elkerülés dimenziók esetében elfogadható tartományba esett (Cronbach-α > 0,7), a függőségskála kevéssé bizonyult konzisztensnek (Cronbach-α = 0,62). A kitöltést 14 hónap után ismételve, a teszt-reteszt reliabilitás a teszt minden skáláján megfelelő volt (0,73 és 0,78 között változott). A depressziós és nem depressziós csoport a kérdőív közelség és szorongás dimenzióiban szignifikánsan különbözött egymástól (p < 0,01). Feltáró és megerősítő faktoranalízissel vizsgálva a skála közelség és szorongás dimenziói különültek el egymástól, a függőségskála itemei szórtan helyezkedtek el, a háromfaktoros elgondolás nem nyert megerősítést. Az AAS közelség- és szorongásskálája alkalmazható a kötődési jellemzők vizsgálatára, azonban a kérdőív háromdimenziós struktúrája nem megerősíthető. Eredményeink rámutatnak arra is, hogy a kötődési jellemzők felnőttkorban összefüggést mutatnak a depressziós epizódokkal.

Abstract:
We aimed to assess changes in the attachment internal working model and reflective function (RF) as mechanisms of change in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) treatment for patients with traumatic memories. Twenty adult female patients with parenting and relational problems participated in the study. Attachment organization was assessed with the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) and the RF coding scale pre- and posttreatment. We found that EMDR therapy increased patients' narrative coherence and RF. We noted a significant decrease in the number of participants classified as unresolved following the course of EMDR treatment in which loss and/or trauma were resolved. This article summarizes the changes after EMDR therapy regarding attachment status and its efficacy to reprocess early traumatic memories in a more adaptive way. Finally, our results also support the usefulness of the AAI as a tool for understanding the changing processes during a therapeutic treatment.

Abstract:
Als potentielle Risikofaktoren für die Entwicklung von Essstörungen sind unsichere Bindung sowie Unzufriedenheit mit dem eigenen Körper bekannt. Diese Studie untersucht den Zusammenhang von Bindungsmustern, Figurzufriedenheit und Essverhalten bei einer nicht-klinischen Stichprobe von Jugendlichen beiderlei Geschlechts. Folgende Variablen wurden bei 13- bis 18-jährigen Mädchen und Jungen (n = 851) an neun Schulen in Jena (Thüringen) erhoben: Bindungsmuster (dt. Version der Adult Attachment Scale, AAS), Figurzufriedenheit (Stunkard Skalen) und Essverhalten (dt. Version des Eating Attitudes Test, EAT-26D). In einem Gesamtmodell stellt die Einschätzung zu dick zu sein das größte Risiko für die Entwicklung einer Essstörung dar (OR = 8,9), gefolgt vom weiblichen Geschlecht (OR = 3,9), Übergewicht (OR = 3,4) sowie unsicherer Bindung (OR = 2,6). Die Ergebnisse bestätigen den positiven Zusammenhang zwischen Bindungsmuster, Figurzufriedenheit und Essverhalten auch für eine jugendliche, nicht-klinische Stichprobe von Jungen und Mädchen und ergeben damit wichtige Implikationen für primär- und sekundärpräventive Interventionen.

Abstract:
Zusammenfassung: Die wesentlichen Methoden zur Erfassung von “Bindungsstilen” werden vor dem Hintergrund diskutiert, dass Operationalisierungen die Modellvorstellungen der zugehörigen Theorie möglichst getreu abbilden sollten. Da “Bindungsstile” als umschriebene Reaktionsmuster in bindungsrelevanten Situationen definiert sind ( Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters & Wall, 1978 ), erscheinen Prototypen im Sinne charakteristischer Konfigurationen von Merkmalen als die bestgeeignete Basis für die Operationalisierung. Eine an diesem Prinzip orientierte Clusteranalyse anhand des “Bielefelder Fragebogens zu Klientenerwartungen (BFKE)” ( Höger, 1999 ) mit den Skalen “Akzeptanzprobleme”, “Öffnungsbereitschaft” und “Zuwendungsbedürfnis” hatte fünf Bindungsmuster identifiziert: “sicher” sowie je zwei Varianten des “unsicher-ambivalenten” (“verschossen” und “anklammernd”) und des “unsicher-vermeidenden” Musters (“verschlossen” und “kooperationsbereit”). Um den Anwendungsbereich dieses Verfahrens zu erweitern, wurden die auf die Person des Therapeuten bezogenen Items auf die Partnerin/den Partner hin umformuliert und an einer Stichprobe von N = 402 überprüft. Eine Faktorenanalyse ergab zum BFKE äquivalente Resultate. Eine erste Validierung erfolgt anhand einer deutschen Übersetzung der “Adult Attachment Scale (AAS)” ( Collins & Read, 1990 ).

Abstract:
The current study investigates the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV), childhood trauma, trait anxiety, depression, and anxious attachment in college students. Ninety-three male and 161 female undergraduate students at Fairfield University, ranging in age from 17 to 23, with a mean age of 18.8 years, participated. Participants completed five self-report inventories: The Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationships Inventory (CADRI), the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ), the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS). IPV perpetration in college dating relationships was related to childhood emotional and physical abuse, emotional and physical neglect, and trait anxiety. IPV victimization in college dating relationships was related to childhood emotional and physical abuse, childhood emotional and physical neglect, and an anxious attachment style. IPV perpetration and victimization were also significantly correlated with one another. Subscale analyses suggest that childhood emotional abuse was related to being both the perpetrator and victim of verbal or emotional abuse in dating relationships. Childhood physical abuse, physical neglect, and emotional abuse were related to both perpetration and victimization of physical IPV. Threatening behavior perpetration in dating relationships was related to childhood emotional abuse, emotional neglect, physical abuse, and physical neglect; however, being the victim of threatening behavior was only related to childhood emotional abuse, physical neglect, and emotional neglect, not childhood physical abuse. These results support the relationship between childhood trauma and dating violence in college students. They also support a role for anxiety in IPV, although trait anxiety was related to perpetration and an anxious attachment style was correlated with IPV victimization. In addition, they suggest that different experiences of childhood trauma may relate to different aspects of IPV in college dating relationships.

Abstract:
Cohabitation is becoming more prevalent in western society so that up to 7.5 million cohabiting couples were reported in the USA for the year 2010. The present study investigated whether the cohabitants’ attachment style might be one of the reasons for cohabitation gaining such popularity. Attachment styles as well as socio-demographic variables were compared in regard to the partnership status. A sample of 1,002 participants aged 18 to 60 were used as a representative sample (M = 43.5, SD = 10.9), of which 54% were female and 82% were married. The cohabitants were younger, more highly educated, and less frequently affiliated with a church. The cohabitants were more anxious-attached, especially those of a younger age. A one-point increase in value on the AAS anxiety scale almost doubled the possibility of cohabitation. Most of the variance can be explained by socio-demographic variables. However, based on these representative data, and after controlling for socio-demographic variables, attachment anxiety is still connected to cohabitation. The diverse results in the literature may be explained by differences in the socio-demographic characteristics of the sample.

Abstract:
Measures of adult attachment developed in English have been translated and validated in multiple Spanish-speaking countries, yet to this date no self-report adult attachment instrument has been systematically examined for validation with Latinos/Hispanic Americans. The present study examined psychometric properties of a Spanish version of a widely used adult attachment scale, the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECRS), with a bilingual college student sample. Following the dual-language split half (DLSH) quantitative method of evaluating semantic equivalence, 209 bilingual, Latinos/Hispanic American college students recruited from a large public university completed a DLSH version of the ECRS (half English, half Spanish). Internal consistency reliability and DLSH reliability were within acceptable limits, although significantly smaller than coefficients of the English ECRS completed by a large Caucasian sample (n = 459); 3- to 8-week test-retest reliability was also adequate. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a two-factor solution with 35 items accounting for 40% of the variance, which was similar to the English ECRS. Convergent validity was supported by findings that showed significant associations of attachment dimensions with social self-efficacy, self-esteem, depressive symptoms, and comfort with self-disclosure, but not interpersonal trust. Evidence for discriminant validity was found in that attachment dimensions were not significantly associated with social desirability. Theoretical implications, limitations, and future directions of the study will be discussed based on adult attachment theory and cross-cultural perspectives.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the attachment scale added in the newly developed self-rating questionnaire Trauma Symptom Inventory-2 (TSI-2). Participants were recruited from the Swedish parent-infant unit Hagadal (N=58). Reliability analyses concluded Cronbach´s α .92 for attachment total scale, .88 for avoidance subscale, and .91 for rejection sensitivity subscale. Convergent validity analyses concluded moderate to strong correlations between TSI-2 attachment scale and subscales, and Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) total scale and subscales (r= .34 - .68, p ≤ .01). Criterion validity analyses concluded that adverse childhood circumstances measured by Linköping Youth Life Experiences Scale (LYLES) signficantly estimated 17 % of variance in TSI-2 attachment scale scores. Preliminary support for reliability and validity of the TSI-2 attachment scale was obtained. No previous trauma symptom rating instrument has included information about adult attachment styles. The present findings point to the benefits of such inclusion.

Abstract:
Substance abuse and dependence causes many problems in our society. Attachment style may be useful in the etiology of this problem. Using archival data, this study hypothesizes men in a court-ordered facility will be more likely to have an insecure attachment style. The participants were 73 males ages 18-49. The Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) was used to measure adult romantic attachment style. Through cluster analysis and conversion of the subscales of the AAS, four attachment styles were measured. Men were more likely to have an insecure attachment style especially a Fearful style. The study concludes with limitations of the results and a discussion about possible interventions based on attachment style.

Abstract:
"Introduction: Place attachment is multi-dimensional and depends on a reciprocal relationship between behavior and experience. It comes from environmental psychology, and it has its roots in the theory of attachment because of an emotional link between an individual and a place. The present paper aims to describe the psychometric characteristics of the Slovak version of The Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire (Srima, 2018). Methods: The original questionnaire consists of 15 items with a Likert scale ranging from totally disagree to agree. The research sample consisted of 645 working adults of a convenience sample, aged from 16 to 78 years, consisting of 54.9% women, from various work fields (finance, sales, education). We randomly divided the sample into two halves for separate studies. Results: In the first study with 323 adult participants, we used exploratory factor analysis to examine its construct validity. According to exploratory factor analysis, we reduced the 15-item questionnaire to a 9-item structure with three original factors: secure (AM = 6.23, SD = 2.32), dismissive (AM = 3.64, SD = 2.54), and preoccupied (AM = 3.64, SD = 2.31) workplace attachment styles, with an average internal consistency of 0.75. In the second study with 322 participants, we executed the confirmatory factor analysis, which confirmed the three-factor structure, with an average internal consistency of 0.65. Discussion: The results confirmed the original three-factor structure of The Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire with 9 original items instead of 15. This paper contributes to the shorter version of the Workplace Attachment Styles questionnaire adapted to the Slovak population. The study's limitations are the absence of other measurement tools that could verify the construct of workplace attachment itself (Adult Attachment in the Workplace, Experience in Close Relationship Questionnaire). That is also what is worth doing in the next research."
