The current study gathered internal structural validity and external criterion validity evidence for the Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Questionnaire (ECR-R) scores. Specifically, confirmatory factor analysis of the data provided general support for the hypothesized two-factor model, and hypothesized relationships with external criteria were substantiated. However, minor model misfit and low communalities (R2) suggested that some items may represent extraneous constructs. Further avenues of study regarding the functioning of the instrument are provided.

Key Words: attachment • close relationships • construct validity • ECR-R
