摘要:Several tools to measure atachment style in adulthood have been developed in the past three decades; however, their dimensionality is stll unclear, with the main unanswered queston being that of global atachment. In the Relatonship Structures Questonnaire, ECR RS (Fraley et al., 2011), respondents rate their relatonship to four atachment fgures (mother, father, close friend and partner). The paper assesses its dimensionality to test the structure of global atachment. We used a Czech sample (N = 1023) and an internatonal sample (Hudson et al., 2015; N = 1095) to compare a hierarchical model, in which the fgure specifc atachment factors are partally the product of global atachment, with a bifactor model, in which the global atachment factors directly affect the responses in questonnaires. The bifactor model fts the data beter and it lends support to the hypothesis that global atachment relates to human behavior directly and is not mediated by specifc atachment to different fgures. The limitatons of this fnding are discussed.
