    This document provides information about the Adolescent Relationship Scales Questionnaire (A-RSQ), which is a revision of the Relationship Scales Questionnaire used to assess adolescent attachment styles. The A-RSQ uses a continuous scale to measure levels of security, fearfulness, preoccupiedness, and dismissingness rather than categorizing individuals. It consists of 17 statements for adolescents to rate about their close relationships. Scoring involves calculating average ratings for items in each scale to derive measures of the underlying attachment dimensions.

    Adolescent
    Relationship Scales Questionnaire

    The following is a copy of the Adolescent Relationship Scales


    Questionnaire (A-RSQ) — a revision of the original
    Relationship Scales Questionnaire . The continuous scales
    reflect the degree of security, fearfulness, preoccupiedness,
    and dismissingness and typically is NOT used to categorize
    individuals into attachment categories. I have used this scale
    in a clinical sample of adolescents and preliminary results
    between the continuous scales from this measure and
    interview attachment ratings are available by email.

    Think about all the people in your life. Now read each of the following
    statements and rate how much it describes your feelings.(you may wish
    to use a 5– to 9-point scale from not at all like me to very
    much like me)

    1. I find it hard to count on other people

    2. It is very important to me to feel independent

    3. I find it easy to get emotionally close to others

    4. I worry that I will be hurt if I become too close to others

    5. I am comfortable without close emotional relationships

    6. I want to be completely emotionally close with others

    7. I worry about being alone

    8. I am comfortable depending on other people

    9. I find it difficult to trust others completely

    10. I am comfortable having other people depend on me


    11. I worry others don’t value me as much as I value them

    12. It is very important for me to do things on my own

    13. I’d rather not have other people depend on me

    14. I am kind of uncomfortable being emotionally close to people

    15. I find that people don’t want to get as close as I would like

    16. I prefer not to depend on people

    17. I worry about having people not accept me.

    SCORING THE RSQ

    Secure scale is the average of 3, 7(Reverse), 8, 10, 17(Reverse).


    Fearful scale is the average of 1, 4, 9, 14.
    Preoccupied scale is the average of 5(Reverse), 6, 11, 15.
    Dismissing scale is the average of 2, 5, 12, 13, 16

    As with the RQ you can calculated the underlying attachment dimensions


    can be derived using the following equations: Self Model = (secure +
    dismissing) MINUS (fearful + preoccupied)]. Other Model = (secure +
    preoccupied) MINUS (fearful + dismissing)

    See Bartholomew & Horowitz, 1991 or Scharfe & Bartholomew).
