ECR-G-10
Experiences in Close Relationships Scale - German 10-Item Short Form
Short abstract
The ECR-G-10 is used for self-assessment of experiences and behavior in adult attachment to romantic partners. The questionnaire is the short form of the Bochum Attachment Questionnaire (BoBi), the German version of the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale (ECR). The two attachment dimensions of avoidance and anxiety are measured with 10 items. Reliability: The internal consistency of the two scales proved to be acceptable to high in several samples (ω = .73-.84, α = .72-.81). Validity: The examination of factorial validity yielded a good model fit. The construct validity of both scales was demonstrated by convergent and discriminant correlations with scales on romantic relationships, personality, and mental health that were in line with expectations.
