説明
<jats:p>The reliability and validity of the Attachment<jats:italic>Q</jats:italic>Sort (AQS;<jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="#b170">Waters & Deane, 1985</jats:ext-link>) was tested in a series of meta‐analyses on 139 studies with 13,835 children. The observer AQS security score showed convergent validity with Strange Situation procedure (SSP) security (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic>=.31) and excellent predictive validity with sensitivity measures (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic>=.39). Its association with temperament was weaker (<jats:italic>r</jats:italic>=.16), which supports the discriminant validity of the observer AQS. Studies on the stability of the observer AQS are still relatively scarce but they have yielded promising results (mean<jats:italic>r</jats:italic>=.28;<jats:italic>k</jats:italic>=4,<jats:italic>n</jats:italic>=162). It is concluded that the observer AQS, but not the self‐reported AQS, is a valid measure of attachment.</jats:p>
