Abstract

The aim of the research was the CONSTRUCTION AND NORMALIZATION of a scale for measuring attachment in 6-12 year old children using the principles of attachment theory. The sample group consisted of 500 students of first to fifth grades of primary schools in the city of Karaj who were selected using multistage cluster sampling. The following steps were taken for the construction of the test: 1) Review of related literature and theories; 2) Development of a database of sentences containing anxiety (separation from and rejection by the attachment figure) and avoidance (from establishing emotionalrelationship with the attachment figure); 3) Preparation and implementation of a pilot test, and removal and modification of inappropriate sentences; 4) Construction of a 28-item scale; 5) Final implementation and determining statistical properties of the test. Two experts confirmed the content validity of the test. The reliability coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.82 for anxiety and 0.90 for avoidance components.The results of the retest revealed a significant relationship between the scores of two implementations at 0.001 level. The mean of components was not significant at all levels. The concurrent validity was determined using a researcher-made questionnaire on problems related to behavior, education, and compatibility with friends and school. The results confirmed the concurrent validity of the test. Then, the normal properties of the test were determined. The results indicated that the ATTACHMENT SCALE in 6-12 year old children has sufficient reliability and validity.
