ABSTRACT
Objective To revise Experiences in close relationship scale-short form (ECR-S) and e-valuate the reliability and validity of Experiences in Close Relationship Scale-the Chinese Short version (ECR-CS) in Chinese adult population. Methods A sample of 1 572 Chinese adults were chosen through convenient sampling method to test the structural validity,criterion correlation validity,internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability of ECR-CS. Results The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that ECR-CS had a two-factor structure and data fitted this two-factor structure well,χ2/df=3. 57,CFI=0. 95,GFI=0. 95,AGFI=0. 92,TLI=0. 92,NFI=0. 93,RMSEA=0. 07,SRMr=0. 04. In ECR-CS,the Cronbach's alpha coefficients for attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance were respectively 0. 85 and 0. 88,the test-retest reliability with an interval of two weeks were respectively 0. 75 and 0. 80. With reference to relevant studies,self-esteem scale(SES),social avoidance and distress scale(SADS) and depression,anxi-ety and stress scale(DASS) were selected as the criterions to test the criterion-related validity of ECR-CS. Attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance of ECR-CS were significantly positively correlated with social avoidance,social distress,depression,anxiety and stress(r=0. 20-0. 43,P<0. 01),and negatively correlated with self-esteem (r=-0. 43--0. 40,P<0. 01),indicating that ECR-CS had a good criterion-related validity. Conclusion ECR-CS has good reliability and validity,which is suitable for the research of adult attachment in Chinese adult population.
