Participants would also have to fill out the questionnaire which provides questions about attachment issues, behaviors, and cognitions. “ Over a period of 25 years, reliable and valid measures of attachment-related processes have been developed—for example, the Strange Situation to classify infant’s quality of attachment to mother; the Attachment Q-Sort for assessing young children’s attachment orientations; the Adult Attachment Interview to measure adult “state of mind with respect to the attachment”; and several self-report scales to measure adult attachment style in peer relationships (see Crowell, Fraley, & Shaver, 1999; Hesse, 1999; Solomon & George, 1999, for comprehensive reviews)” by P.R. Shaver, M. Mikulincer / Journal of Research in Personality 39 (2005) 22–45.

This study should potentially provide knowledge of the attachment theory and research. I would use the assessment anonymously and only use the consenting participants to identify the subjects. “ Reliability (Are the scores it yields representative of the subject’s typical behavior? Are they reproducible?”) is essential. If a behavior sample is too brief, the target behavior is too rare, or the behavior scored too subject to situational factors, you can expect to obtain scores that vary widely around a subject’s typical (“true”) behavior. Reliability is also affected by the range of individual differences in your sample” by Cervone, D., Pervin, L. A. (2016). The study was conducted ethically because “Psychologists may disclose confidential information with the appropriate consent of the organizational client, the individual client/patient, or another legally authorized person on behalf of the client/patient unless prohibited by law” by APA.
