Abstract

In this study, the reliability and validity of Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), a scale developed to measure adult attachment dimensions, were examined in a Turkish student sample. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that ECR-R has a two-factor solution representing attachment-related avoidance and attachment-related anxiety. The relationships of avoidance and anxiety dimensions with the related variables support the validity of ECR-R. Moreover, it is found that the dimensions measured by ECR-R have high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. In light of these findings, it is suggested that researchers use ECR-R, which has higher measurement precision as compared to other scales, in the assessment of adult attachment.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, yetişkin bağlanma boyutlarının ölçümü için geliştirilen Yakın ilişkilerde Yaşantılar Envanteri-II'nin (YlYE-II) Türk öğrenci örneklemi için güvenirliği ve geçerliği incelenmiştir. Betimleyici ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri YİYE-II'nin bağlanmada kaçınma ve kaygı davranışlarını temsil eden iki faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Kaçınma ve kaygı boyutlarının ilgili diğer değişkenlerle gösterdiği ilişki, YÎYE-II'nin geçerliğini desteklemektedir. Ayrıca, YlYE-II ile ölçülen boyutların yüksek düzeyde iç tutarlığa ve test-tekrar test güvenirliğine sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Bulgular doğrultusunda araştırmacılara yetişkin bağlanmasının ölçümünde, diğer ölçeklere göre daha yüksek ölçüm duyarlığına sahip olan YlYE-II'yi kullanmaları önerilmiştir.
