Attachment Style Questionnaire/Evidence
Method evidence record

Attachment Style Questionnaire

The Attachment Style Questionnaire is a self-report instrument measuring adult romantic attachment patterns based on attachment theory. Developed following Hazan and Shaver's seminal 1987 work extending John Bowlby's attachment theory to adult romantic relationships, the ASQ assesses individual differences in attachment anxiety (fear of abandonment and desire for closeness) and attachment avoidance (discomfort with intimacy and emotional dependence). The ASQ is used extensively in relationship research, couple therapy, and studies examining how childhood attachment experiences predict adult romantic functioning.
