Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was conducted to develop and validate the Attachment Injury Scale (CAIS) for couples.
Methods: Starting with the development of the first preliminary scale through literature review and free-open questionnaires, the scale was revised and rated through the advice of an expert group. Through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis, a scale of 20 questions consisting of four sub-factors was developed.
Results: The reliability of Cronbach's α of this tool was stable with attachment injury at .90, avoidance behavior and psychological withdrawal of factor 1 (α=.89), physical discomfort and emotional suppression of factor 2 (α=.87), emotional support and comfort pursuit of factor 3 (α=.75), and cognitive avoidance and loss of trust of factor 4 (α=.86). The concurrent validity and discriminant validity of the scale was confirmed.
Conclusions: This scale is thought to promote research on marital distress and attachment injury, as well as contribute to establishing a marital counseling strategy focusing on attachment injury and intervention in counseling.
