abstract

• The aim of this study was to construct the Inventory of Attachment Patterns Perceived during Childhood. The inventory is based on Bowlby\%27s and Ainsworth\%27s attachment theory and presents scales to measure avoidant, anxious, disorganized, and secure attachment styles. Method: content validity was assessed by means of item testing. A cross-sectional confirmatory analytic design was employed in each scale and concurrent validity was examined.\ Instruments: The study included the Attachment Patterns Perceived during Childhood and the Experiences in Close Relationships (ECR) Inventory. Results: A valid and reliable inventory was obtained, with high content validity; confirmatory models with appropriate fit characteristics, and a significant correlation. The inventory is optimal for social use with the possibility of measuring progress in psychotherapy treatment.
