Description:

Description: (From Crowell & Treboux, 1995): The Q-sort is an alternative method of scoring the Adult Attachment Interview and was derived from the original scoring system. It emphasizes the relation between affect regulation and attachment style by examining the use of minimizing versus maximizing emotional strategies. The interview is scored from transcripts using a forced distribution of descriptors in two dimensions: Security/anxiety and deactivation/hyperactivation. Security reflects coherence and cooperation within the interview, and memories of supportive attachment figures. Deactivation strategies correspond to dismissing strategies, whereas hyperactivating strategies reflect the excessive detail and active anger seen in many preoccupied subjects. The individual's sort is correlated with a prototypic sort, and the individual can be classified into a Secure, Dismissing or Preoccupied category on the basis of the correlations with the prototypes.

(From Pilkonis, Kim, Yu, Morse, 2014):“The items in the Attachment Q-sort (Kobak, 1989) are based on Main and Goldwyn’s system for identifying attachment styles. Correlations between individual Q-sorts and each of three “gold-standard” Q-sorts (reflecting secure, preoccupied, and dismissive styles) provide three attachment scores.”

Data Notes:
(From Pilkonis, Kim, Yu, Morse, 2014): “For this study, the Q-sort was based largely on information collected with the Interpersonal Relations Assessment”
