Abstract
Objective This study aimed to develop and validate psychometric properties of the Thai Version of the Relationship Structures Questionnaire (ECR-RS).
Materials and Methods Data were collected between February – March 2019 from 154 Thai university students by the developed Thai version of the ECR-RS. The questionnaire was then analyzed for internal consistency reliability and construct validity.
Results The Thai version of the ECR-RS had an overall alpha coefficient of .76. Alphas for avoidance and anxiety subscales were .78 and .88, respectively. Construct validity was reflected by a model that fitted well with data (χ2 = 29.27, df = 19, p > .05; GFI = .96, CFI = .98, RMSEA = .06).
Conclusion The developed Thai ECR-RS was well established in its psychometric properties. Its reliability and validity were consistent with the original instrument.
