Abstract: From the moment we are born, until we reach adulthood, we depend on our parents and those who raise us. We have the need to create and form relationships, and, in order to be able to create them in a healthy, stable and harmonious way, it is fundamental to learn about the attachment patterns. The hypothesis of our research was to validate our own questionnaire measuring attachment patterns in adulthood. The tools we used were the questionnaires applied successively, and the first was the one containing the 117 items made up by us. After eliminating the questions that did not respect the normality, we applied the final form of the questionnaire, which includes 90 items. We used the Read and Collins Adult Attachment Scale (AAS) to help us validate our own measurement questionnaire, so we calculated the Alpha Cronbach coefficient, which indicated a high understanding for all three attachment styles, due to the fact that the coefficient values are greater than 0.6. This result indicates that our tool has consistency. Following the application of the Split-Half method, we obtained correlations that confirmed fidelity and consistency, being positive, between sets of questions in the case of scales that measure anxious, avoidant and secure attachment style, so we concluded the validity of questionnaires. The last part of the project boils down to identify the differences between women and men in the attachment style.
