Measure of Attachment Qualities MAQ

Measure of Attachment Qualities  MAQ
The Measure of Attachment Qualities (MAQ) is a measure of adult attachment patterns.  It has separate scales to assess secure attachment tendencies and avoidant tendencies‚ and two scales reflecting aspects of the anxious-ambivalent pattern.

Here is how we administer the MAQ here‚ followed by scoring instructions:

MAQ
Respond to each of the following statements by expressing how much you agree with it (if you do generally agree) or how much you disagree with it (if you generally disagree).  Make all your responses on the answer sheet only.  Do not leave any items blank.  Please be as accurate as you can be throughout‚ and try especially hard not to let your answer to any one item influence your answer to any other item.  Treat each one as though it is completely unrelated to the others.  There are no right or wrong answers‚ you are simply to express your own personal feelings and opinions.  Choose from these response options:
 1 = I DISagree with the statement a lot
 2 = I DISagree with the statement a little
 3 = I agree with the statement a little
 4 = I agree with the statement a lot

A slightly abbreviated version of the MAQ has been used in research on cancer caregivers‚ published in the following article:
