WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) Test

close relationships attachment

This self-report measure evaluates adult attachment-related attitudes in close relationships. The Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) assesses three core domains: comfort with closeness, ability to depend on others, and concerns about abandonment or rejection.

Respondents rate statements reflecting typical interpersonal expectations and emotional responses in intimate contexts. The instrument includes 18 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete.

Scores are commonly used to characterize patterns of attachment-related security versus insecurity and to inform case formulation, treatment planning, or research analyses. As presented by psytests.org (2023), the Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) can support discussion of relational functioning while remaining a brief, low-burden screening tool.
