Examination of internal consistency and construct validity of scores on the parental attachment scale: preliminary psychometric results

Fouladi, Rachel T.; Moller, Naomi P.; McCarthy, Christopher J.

Abstract

The Parental Attachment Scale was developed through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and validation of a final 23-item scale. Comparison with existing parental attachment measures and a subliminally primed lexical decision task was also conducted. Results across the 3 studies suggested satisfactory internal consistency and construct validity.
