This self-report measure assesses an individual’s emotional bond with their living environment. The Home Attachment Scale was developed to support brief screening of perceived comfort, familiarity, and psychological meaning associated with one’s home.
It consists of 14 items and typically takes about 3 minutes to complete. Responses can be used to summarize the degree to which the home is experienced as a place of safety, support, and personal significance, which may be clinically relevant when discussing stress, stability, or identity-related concerns.
The Home Attachment Scale is attributed to Mary D. Ainsworth and John Bowlby. Interpretation should consider situational factors (e.g., recent moves, housing instability) and is best integrated with clinical interview and other sources of information rather than used as a standalone indicator.
