Frequently Asked Questions
What does this questionnaire measure?
It assesses two attachment dimensions in close relationships: attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. These scores describe typical patterns of seeking closeness and managing dependence.
How long does it take to complete, and what is the response format?
It contains 14 items and usually takes about 3 minutes to complete. Each item is answered using a yes/no response.
Who is this questionnaire intended for?
It is suitable for adults in clinical, counseling, and research settings. It can be used to describe general relationship tendencies rather than a single specific relationship.
How should responses be chosen if a statement is not always true?
Select the answer that best reflects what is generally true most of the time. Do not spend time trying to find exceptions or ideal responses.
How should the results be interpreted?
Higher anxiety indicates greater concern about rejection or abandonment, and higher avoidance indicates greater discomfort with closeness or reliance on others. Scores are descriptive and should be interpreted alongside other information rather than used as a stand-alone diagnosis.
