Measurement of individual differences in adolescent and adult attachment
The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of existing measures of individual differences in adult attachment. The review focuses on measures developed in the narrative tradition of adult attachment (the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI; George, Kaplan & Main, 1985, 1996) and the Current Relationship Interview (CRI; Crowell), measures developed in the adolescent development and clinical tradition (i.e., the Attachment History Questionnaire [AHQ; Pottharst], the Inventory of Parent and Peer Attachment [IPPA; Armsden & Greenberg], the Reciprocal Attachment Questionnaire [RAQ]), and measures developed in the personality and social psychology tradition (i.e., Hazan and Shaver's three category measure [1987], Bartholomew's Relationship Questionnaire [1991], and interview measures, Brennan, Clark, & Shaver's multi-item scales. The overlap and distinctions among these measures and their underlying assumptions are discussed.
