The following is a copy of the Adolescent Relationship Scales Questionnaire (A-RSQ) — a revision of the original Relationship Scales Questionnaire . The continuous scales reflect the degree of security, fearfulness, preoccupiedness, and dismissingness and typically is NOTused to categorize individuals into attachment categories. I have used this scale in a clinical sample of adolescents and preliminary results between the continuous scales from this measure and interview attachment ratings are available by email.
Think about all the people in your life. Now read each of the following statements and rate how much it describes your feelings.
(you may wish to use a 5– to 9-point scale fromnot at all like me to very much like me)
1. I find it hard to count on other people
2. It is very important to me to feel independent
3. I find it easy to get emotionally close to others
4. I worry that I will be hurt if I become too close to others
5. I am comfortable without close emotional relationships
6. I want to be completely emotionally close with others
7. I worry about being alone
8. I am comfortable depending on other people
9. I find it difficult to trust others completely
10. I am comfortable having other people depend on me
11. I worry others don’t value me as much as I value them
12. It is very important for me to do things on my own
13. I’d rather not have other people depend on me
14. I am kind of uncomfortable being emotionally close to people
15. I find that people don’t want to get as close as I would like
16. I prefer not to depend on people
17. I worry about having people not accept me.
You can calculated the underlying attachment dimensions can be derived using the following equations:
Self Model = (secure + dismissing) MINUS (fearful + preoccupied)].
Other Model = (secure + preoccupied) MINUS (fearful + dismissing)
