Research-Based Methodology: The Science Behind Our Quiz
Understanding the research and principles that power our assessment
Theoretical Foundation
Our assessment is based on the groundbreaking attachment theory research by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth. Since its development in the 1960s, this theory has become a fundamental framework for understanding relationships. Modern adult attachment theory, further developed by researchers like Kim Bartholomew, provides the solid theoretical foundation for our assessment.
Validated Assessment Scale
Our assessment is adapted from the validated ECR-S (Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-Short Form). This scale is widely used in academic research globally and demonstrates strong reliability and validity. The assessment evaluates attachment patterns along two dimensions: anxiety and avoidance.
Scientific Scoring Method
We employ a two-dimensional scoring system that analyzes responses along the axes of relationship anxiety and intimacy avoidance to accurately determine attachment styles. Our scoring algorithm is based on extensive research data to ensure accuracy and reliability.
Important Considerations
While our online assessment is based on scientific research, we want to be clear that it cannot replace professional psychological evaluation. It serves as a starting point for self-awareness, but if you need professional help, we recommend consulting with a qualified mental health professional.
Understanding your attachment pattern is the first step toward improving your relationships.
