SCALE NAME: Experiences in Close
Relationships-Relational Structures (ECR-RS)
The ECR-RS is a measure of adult attachment that includes
four 9-item subscales for mother, father, romantic partner, and best friend
attachment (Fraley et al., 2011a). Statements on
the ECR-RS are rated on a 7-point scale (1 = strongly disagree; 7 = strongly
agree).
Sample items from the ECR-RS
I find it easy to depend
on this person.
I often worry that this
person doesn't really care for me.
Reliability values
“In our research, the ECR-RS has proven to be quite useful.
The test-retest reliability (over 30 days) of the individual scales are approximately
.65 for the domain of romantic relationships (including individuals who
experienced breakups during the 30-day period) and .80 in the parental domain.”
(Chris-Fraley,
n.d.)
Scale alpha values exceed .90 for each scale, according to Chris-Fraley.
