“…Appropriate items are reverse scored and mean scores calculated, such that higher scores indicate greater levels of avoidant attachment. In prior research with college students, scores on the RAAS-Avoid were associated with symptoms of depression and difficulties in emotion regulation; responses to the RAAS-Avoid were also acceptable in this sample (α = .78; Stroud, Hershenberg, Cardenas, Greiter, & Richmond, 2016). Cronbach’s alpha using available item analysis was .89 for responses to items on the RAAS-Avoid.…”

This study used latent profile analysis to explore the interrelations of drive for muscularity (DM) and alexithymia among 505 men. Four unique classes of men emerged: (1) low endorsement of DM and alexithymia, (2) moderate endorsement of alexithymia and DM, (3) moderate endorsement of alexithymia and high endorsement of attitudinal and behavioral DM, and (4) high endorsement of DM attitudes and alexithymia, and low endorsement of DM behaviors. We explored relations between class membership and avoidant attachment, social pressure to be muscular, helpseeking attitudes, and body appreciation, using Class 1 as the reference group. Alexithymia and attitudinal DM, in the absence of behavioral DM, appear to be a particularly unhealthful constellation of alexithymia and DM.
