ECR-RS Attachment Scale

The Experiences in Close Relationships - Relationship Structures questionnaire (ECR-RS) is a short 9-item measure of attachment. It describes how you tend to relate to a partner or someone close on two dimensions: attachment anxiety (worry about rejection or abandonment) and attachment avoidance (discomfort with depending on or opening up to others). Takes about 3 minutes.

Please rate how much you agree or disagree with each statement about your close relationships in general.
