本文主要研究了亲子关系，并着重研究了一种采用19项自述问卷来测量亲子依恋结构的方法。数据来自大约200名澳大利亚父亲的样本，在他们第一个孩子出生后的6个月和12个月进行评估。一项因素分析得出了三个可解释的因素，即：“耐心和宽容”、“互动中的快乐”和“感情和骄傲”，占方差的45%。Alpha系数测量值在0.7-0.8之间，表明内部一致性的可接受水平。在6个月和12个月的评估中观察到高水平的依恋连续性得分。父亲依恋得分与其他研究变量之间的相关性非常显著，这表明建构效度。该仪器补充了以前发表的产前（产妇和父亲）和产后产妇仪器，其优点是易于对大样本进行管理，有助于早期识别可能存在依恋缺陷的父亲。给出了识别此类男性的截止分数。
This paper focuses on the father-to-infant relationship, and in particular on an approach to measuring the construct of father-to-infant attachment using a 19-item self-report questionnaire. Data are presented from a sample of approximately 200 Australian fathers assessed at 6 and 12 months after the birth of their first child. A factor analysis yielded three interpretable factors, namely: 'patience and tolerance', 'pleasure in interaction' and 'affection and pride', accounting for 45% of the variance. Coefficient Alpha measures were in the range 0.7-0.8, indicating acceptable levels of internal consistency. A high level of continuity of attachment scores was observed between the 6- and 12-month assessments. Correlations between fathers' attachment scores and other study variables were highly significant, which is indicative of construct validity. The instrument complements previously published antenatal (maternal and paternal) and postnatal maternal instruments, and has the advantage of being easily administered to large samples, facilitating early identification of fathers having possible attachment deficits. Cut-off scores for identifying such men are presented.
