反向翻译通常用于验证翻译度量与原始量表的语义等效性（SE）。虽然改编量表的效度从根本上取决于SE，回译总是涉及主观评价。本研究发展了“双语对半”的定量验证方法，以补充回译判断。本研究的第二个目的是创建一种促进中国文化中成人依恋研究的措施。本研究以30名台湾学生为被试，以双语为研究工具，完成由亲密关系经验量表（K。A.布伦南角L. Clark，& P. R. Shaver，1998）。双语，分裂的一半之间的相关性没有统计学差异，从标准样本（N = 399）的相同项目的全英语集之间的相关性。重测可靠性也没有差异。
Back-translation is typically used to verify semantic equivalence (SE) of a translated measure to the original scale. Although validity of the adapted scale depends fundamentally on SE, back-translation always involves subjective evaluations. This study developed "dual-language, split-half' quantitative methods of verification to supplement back-translation judgments. A 2nd purpose of this study was to create a measure to promote adult attachment research in Chinese cultures. A bilingual sample of 30 Taiwanese students completed split scales composed of half English items and half Chinese items translated from the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (K. A. Brennan, C. L. Clark, & P. R. Shaver, 1998). Correlations between the dual-language, split halves were not statistically different from correlations between all-English sets of the same items derived from a criterion sample (N = 399). There were also no differences in retest reliabilities.
