WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Attachment Questionnaire for Close Relationships Test

Close Relationships Attachment Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

close relationships attachment

This measure is designed to assess individual differences in adult attachment patterns in close relationships. The Close Relationships Attachment Questionnaire uses self-report ratings to characterize two broad dimensions commonly examined in attachment research and clinical work.

Respondents rate 30 items in about 6 minutes. Scores are typically interpreted along anxiety (concerns about rejection or abandonment) and avoidance (discomfort with closeness or dependence), as described in the work of Cindy Hazan and Phillip R. Shaver.

Results from the Close Relationships Attachment Questionnaire can be used to inform case conceptualization, guide discussion of relational themes in therapy, and support research on interpersonal functioning. Interpretation should consider the client’s context and should be integrated with clinical interview and other assessment data rather than used as a standalone diagnostic indicator.
