Abstract:
The aim of this study is to develop an alternative measurement tool to determine
attachment styles. Study group is composed of 460 students that 244 (%53) of them
are girls and 216 (%47) of them are men (Mean: 16.39, sd: 2.67). Language validity
was determined by the language validity form. Its content validity was determined
by the content validity form. Cohen Kappa agreement measurement value which was
attained from two experts who were chosen for the language validity of the scale is
.87 and for content validity is .72. Explorative factor analysis indicated that the 18
items were consistently combined under three dimensions. The structural validity
values of the scales were determined with the ratio of GFI, AGFI, CFI, RMSEA, χ2 and
χ2/sd. The factor analysis values were determined as GFI .93, AGFI .90, CFI .90, RMSEA
.05 and χ2/sd ratio was 2.48. The item-total correlation values of the scales varied
between .49 and .75, and item remainder varied between .96 and .98. As a result of
reliability analysis, the internal consistency coefficient for the avoidant, secure and
anxious-ambivalent attachment styles the values were found as .80, .69 and .71
