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)
