成人依恋的自我报告测量通常以以下方式进行评分（例如，平均或求和项），这可能导致关于重要理论问题的错误推断，例如依恋安全性的连续性程度和不安全依恋模式的差异稳定性。为了确定现有的依恋量表是否存在测量问题，作者对四种常用的自我报告量表进行了项目反应理论（IRT）分析：亲密关系经历量表（K。A.布伦南角，澳-地L.克拉克& P. R. Shaver，1998），成人依恋量表（N. L.柯林斯和S. J·里德。1990年）。关系类型问卷（D. W.格里芬& K. Bartholomew，1994）和J. Simpson（1990）依恋量表。用F. Samejima（1969）的分级反应模型。作者的研究结果表明，常用的依恋量表可以在许多重要方面得到改进。因此，作者展示了如何IRT技术可以用来开发新的依恋量表与理想的心理测量特性。
Self-report measures of adult attachment are typically scored in ways (e.g., averaging or summing items) that can lead to erroneous inferences about important theoretical issues, such as the degree of continuity in attachment security and the differential stability of insecure attachment patterns. To determine whether existing attachment scales suffer from scaling problems, the author, conducted an item response theory (IRT) analysis of 4 commonly used self-report inventories: Experiences in Close Relationships scales (K. A. Brennan, C. L. Clark. & P. R. Shaver, 1998), Adult Attachment Scales (N. L. Collins & S. J. Read. 1990). Relationship Styles Questionnaire (D. W. Griffin & K. Bartholomew, 1994) and J. Simpson's (1990) attachment scales. Data from 1.085 individuals were analyzed using F. Samejima's (1969) graded response model. The authors' findings indicate that commonly used attachment scales can be improved in a number of important ways. Accordingly, the authors show how IRT techniques can be used to develop new attachment scales with desirable psychometric properties.
