Questionnaires/Scales for the report

In this document there are several questionnaires to explore the three

behavioural systems of your study with a couple, these being attachment, caregiving
and sexual system. You may choose one questionnaire/scale of each behavioural
system to work with your participants and to write your report.

1. Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R) Questionnaire (Fraley,

Waller and Brennan, 2000)

2. Adult Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ) (Feeney and Noller, 1994)

3. The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) (Stulhofer, Busko, & Brouillard,
2010)

4. The Caregiving Questionnaire (CQ) (Kunce & Shaver, 1994)

5. Relationship Assessment Scale (RAS) (Hendrick, 1988)

There will be a brief description of each measure, the questionnaire itself, the
scoring as well as the specific subscales.

Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R)
Questionnaire (Fraley, Waller and Brennan, 2000)

Description of Measure
A 36-item measure of adult attachment style. The ECR-R measures individuals on
two subscales of attachment: Avoidance and Anxiety. In general, Avoidant
individuals find discomfort with intimacy and seek independence, whereas Anxious
individuals tend to fear rejection and abandonment.

The questionnaire
The statements below concern how you feel in emotionally intimate
relationships. We are interested in how you generally experience relationships, not just
in what is happening in a current relationship. Respond to each statement by circling a
number to indicate how much you agree or disagree with the statement.

Scoring
The first 18 items above comprise the attachment-related anxiety scale. Items 19
– 36 comprise the attachment-related avoidance scale. In real research, the order in
which these items are presented should be randomized. To obtain a score for
attachment-related anxiety, please average a person’s responses to items 1 – 18.
However, because items 9 and 11 are “reverse keyed” (i.e., high numbers represent low
anxiety rather than high anxiety), you’ll need to reverse the answers to those questions
before averaging the responses. (If someone answers with a “6” to item 9, you’ll need to
re-key it as a 2 before averaging.) To obtain a score for attachment-related avoidance,
please average a person’s responses to items 19 – 36. Items 20, 22, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30,
31, 33, 34, 35, and 36 will need to be reverse keyed before you compute this average.

Adult Attachment Style Questionnaire (ASQ)
by Feeney and Noller, 1994).

Description of Measure
The attachment measure to use, the Adult Style Questionnaire (ASQ), was
developed by Feeney and Noller (1994). This questionnaire is useful to locate the
person into one of these categories: the view of self, and the view of others. It
consists of 40 6-point Likert format questions in which the participants need to
answer how much they agree on those questions

The New Sexual Satisfation Scale (NSSS) (Stulhofer, Busko,
& Brouillard, 2010).

Description of Measure and Subscales

This scale consists of 20 Likert-type items that focus on sexual satisfaction, and
includes two subscales which are described by the authors as follows (p. 262): “the ego-
centred subscale, which measures sexual satisfaction generated by personal experiences and
sensations and the partner- and sexual activity- centred subscale, which measures sexual
satisfaction derived from one’s partner’s sexual behaviours and reactions and the diversity or
frequency of sexual activities”.

The Caregiving Questionnaire (CQ; Kunce & Shaver, 1994).

Description of Measure
The caregiving Questionnaire is a 32-item self-report measure of caregiving.
Each dimension consists of eight items rated according to Likert-type response format,
with responses ranging from 1 not at all like me, to 6 very much like me. In order to
avoid response bias, each scale comprises four positively worded (e.g., ‘I am always
supportive of my partner’s own efforts to solve his/her problems’) and four negatively
worded (e.g., ‘I don’t like it when my partner is needy and clings to me’) items. Means
are to be calculated based on each respective subscale’s items, in order to produce a
total score for each dimension (score range: 1–6). Higher scores reflect increased levels
of proximity, sensitivity, cooperation, and a decreased level of compulsive caregiving.

Kunce and Shaver (1994) started with 60 caregiving items and submitted them
to both principal components and principal axis factoring procedures using th SPSS
statistical package. They found 4 main factors containing 8 items each (see table 1).

(From the article)

The Proximity versus Distance factor reflects an individual's ability to provide a

distressed partner with physical and psychological accessibility. This fits well with
attachment theory precepts: if the set-goal of the attachment system is to restore or
maintain proximity to the caregiver, it is logical that a fundamental component of
caregiving is provision of proximity.

The second factor, Sensitivity versus Insensitivity, assesses the respondent's

ability to notice and accurately interpret a partner's needs, feelings, and nonverbal as
well as verbal signals. Again, this fits well with the emphasis attachment theorists have
placed on maternal sensitivity to infant cues and signals as a predictor of infant
attachment style.

11
 The third scale, Cooperation versus Control, is moderately correlated with the
first two (r(325) =.30, p<.001for both), suggesting that individuals who are more likely
to support their partner's own efforts and attempts to solve problems are also somewhat
more likely to provide proximity and be sensitive to partner cues.

The fourth scale, Compulsive Caregiving, is significantly related only to the

third (r(325) = -.44, p<.001). Not surprisingly, this indicates that individuals who tend
to get overinvolved in their partner's problems are more likely to report that their
attempts to help their partner have a 'controlling' rather than a 'cooperative' quality.
