Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A commonly used method for assessing an individual's history of attachment relationships is the adult attachment interview. This structured interview involves asking questions about the individual's memories of relationships with caregivers from childhood and their current close relationships. The responses are coded and analyzed to determine the individual's attachment style and internal working model of relationships. Q-sort and five-factor models are not typically used for assessing attachment history, and internal working model is a theoretical construct rather than an assessment method.
