We developed a 12-item, short form of the Experiences in Close Relationship Scale (ECR; Brennan, Clark, & Shaver, 1998) across 6 studies. In Study 1, we examined the reliability and factor structure of the measure. In Studies 2 and 3, we cross-validated the reliability, factor structure, and validity of the short form measure; whereas in Study 4, we examined testretest reliability over a 1-month period. In Studies 5 and 6, we further assessed the reliability, factor structure, and validity of the short version of the ECR when administered as a standalone instrument. Confirmatory factor analyses indicated that 2 factors, labeled Anxiety and Avoidance, provided a good fit to the data after removing the influence of response sets. We found validity to be equivalent for the short and the original versions of the ECR across studies. Finally, the results were comparable when we embedded the short form within the original version of the ECR and when we administered it as a stand-alone measure.

This study examined the mediating role of affect regulation among attachment, negative mood, and interpersonal problems. Participants were 229 college students at a large midwest university. Structural equation modeling indicated attachment anxiety and avoidance contributed to negative mood and interpersonal problems through different and distinct affect regulation strategies (i.e., emotional reactivity or emotional cutoff). The association between attachment anxiety, negative mood, and interpersonal problems was mediated only by emotional reactivity (not emotional cutoff). Conversely, the association between attachment avoidance, negative mood, and interpersonal problems was mediated only by emotional cutoff (not emotional reactivity). Furthermore, emotional reactivity and emotional cutoff explained 36% of the variance in negative mood; attachment, emotional reactivity, and emotional cutoff explained 75% of the variance in interpersonal problems.Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969(Bowlby, , 1973(Bowlby, , 1980(Bowlby, , 1988 represents an important theoretical perspective for understanding an individual's experience of negative mood and interpersonal problems. The basic premise of attachment theory is that individuals' emotional experiences with primary caregivers lead to the development of attachment security or insecurity. Attachment security or insecurity is then associated with the individuals' ability to connect with others and cope with affective or stressful problems (e.g., Kobak & Sceery, 1988). If individuals have caregivers who are consistent in their emotional availability, they are likely to develop attachment security and can effectively cope with negative events that arise in their life (e.g., seek support from a friend). If individuals do not have caregivers who are emotionally available, individuals are likely to develop attachment insecurity and subsequently be less able to cope with stressful events in their lives (e.g., withdraw from others).Brennan, Clark, and Shaver (1998) recently indicated that adult attachments could be described in terms of two orthogonal dimensions: attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance. Adult attachment anxiety is defined as the fear of rejection and abandonment. Adult attachment avoidance is characterized as the fear of intimacy and discomfort with closeness and dependence. In the attachment literature, it is well documented that the presence of these attachment dimensions are positively linked to indices of psychological distress such as depression and anxiety (e.g.,

It is a short form of the 64-item IIP Circumplex Form (IIP-C; Alden, Wiggins, & Pincus, 1990), and the IIP-C was extracted from the original 127-item IIP (Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureno, & Villasenor, 1988).…”

“…Test-retest reliability coefficients with an 8-week interval for the generic outpatients were .83 for the composite score and in a range from .61 to .79 for the scores of the eight subscales. In addition, Soldz et al indicated that the IIP-SC can be used as a substitute for the IIP on the basis of a high correlation between the IIP-SC and the IIP (Soldz et al, 1995).…”

This study examined perceived coping (perceived problem-solving ability and progress in coping with problems) as a mediator between adult attachment (anxiety and avoidance) and psychological distress (depression, hopelessness, anxiety, anger, and interpersonal problems). Survey data from 515 undergraduate students were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicated that perceived coping fully mediated the relationship between attachment anxiety and psychological distress and partially mediated the relationship between attachment avoidance and psychological distress. These findings suggest not only that it is important to consider attachment anxiety or avoidance in understanding distress but also that perceived coping plays an important role in these relationships. Implications for these more complex relations are discussed for both counseling interventions and further research.In the past decade, researchers have found that Bowlby's attachment theory (1973, 1988) has important implications for coun-
