“…Previous research has supported the reliability and validity of the ECR (Ravitz, Maunder, Hunter, Sthankiya, & Lancee, 2010). In the current sample, Chronbach's alphas were high for both the anxious (α = .88) and avoidant (α = .89) attachment dimensions.…”

Unwanted Pursuit Behavior After Breakup: Occurrence, Risk Factors, and Gender Differences

et al. 2015

This study investigated unwanted pursuit behavior (UPB) perpetration in 631 adult expartners. UPB involves the unwanted pursuit of intimacy, a widespread and usually less severe form of stalking. The occurrence and various risk factors of UPB perpetration were examined, accounting for differences between male and female ex-partners and same-and opposite-gender ex-partners. Ex-partners showed on average five to six UPBs after their separation. Male and female and same-and opposite-gender ex-partners displayed an equal number of UPBs. The number of perpetrated UPBs was explained by breakup characteristics (ex-partner initiation of the breakup and rumination or cognitive preoccupation with the expartner), relationship characteristics (anxious attachment in the former relationship), and individual perpetrator characteristics (borderline traits and past delinquent behaviors).Rumination was a stronger predictor in female than male ex-partners. Borderline traits and anxious attachment positively predicted UPB perpetration in opposite-gender but not in samegender ex-partners. Implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Anxious attachment is often characterized by the self being seen as unlovable and unworthy (Collins & Read, 1990;Collins, 1996;Griffin & Bartholomew, 1994a;Ravitz et al, 2010). The association between relationship-related anxiety and perceived incompetence can perhaps be understood through the negative view of the self giving rise to a critical attitude towards one's own parenting.…”

Spanish version of the Psychosis Attachment Measure: adaptation process and psychometric properties - Proceso de adaptación al español y propiedades psicométricas de la Psychosis Attachment Measure

Introducción. Recientemente se ha postulado a la teoría del apego como un marco conceptual de gran utilidad para mejorar la comprensión del papel de los factores psicosociales y ambientales en relación con la vulnerabilidad, expresión y curso evolutivo de la psicosis. En este artículo presentamos la adaptación española y las propiedades psicométricas de la Psychosis Attachment Measure (PAM), una escala de 16 reactivos diseñada para medir el apego adulto en población con psicosis. Método. En el estudio 1, la PAM se adapto al español siguiendo la metodología de traducción/retrotraducción y se administro a 24 pacientes con psicosis temprana para evaluar su comprensión del instrumento. En el estudio 2 se analizaron sus propiedades psicométricas en una muestra de 235 estudiantes universitarios. Los estudiantes completaron la PAM y el Cuestionario de Relación (RQ) a través de una página de Internet. Resultados. Los resultados del estudio 1 demostraron que la adaptación del instrumento es conceptual y semánticamente equivalente a la versión original en ingles y que es apropiada para usarse en personas que presentan síntomas psicóticos. Replicando los hallazgos obtenidos con la medida original, los resultados del estudio 2 indicaron que dos factores, que conceptualmente representan ansiedad y evitación, subyacen a la versión española de la PAM. Las sub-escalas de ansiedad y evitación mostraron tener una consistencia interna adecuada, así como estar asociadas de forma teóricamente coherente con los cuatro prototipos de apego medidos con el RQ. Discusión. La escala presenta unas propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, lo cual apoya su utilización para la evaluación de los estilos de apego adulto en el contexto cultural español y hace posible la comparación de resultados obtenidos en diferentes culturas. Disponer de un instrumento en español para evaluar el apego en población con psicosis es una aportación relevante que abre nuevos panoramas en ámbitos clínicos y de investigación.
