Security of attachment in 8-12-year-olds: a revised version of the Separation Anxiety Test, its psychometric properties and clinical interpretation

Article Abstract:

The examination of reliability and validity of an adapted version of the Separation Anxiety Test (SAT) for 8-12 year olds establishes inter-retest reliability. The test-retest reliability and internal test construction were not as satisfactory. These have to be developed further before further application of SAT in a clinical setting. The test did prove SAT's validity in making the important distinction between scoring the self and the other and the merit of analyzing SAT responses in a broader qualitative context.
