Educational context only, not a diagnosis or clinical assessment. Product-authored items are labeled where validated instruments do not apply.
§ 01 — Findings
What the study found
- ECR-R is the gold-standard self-report for adult attachment (36 items, anxiety and avoidance dimensions).
- Our relationship-context items borrow the conceptual domain (anxious vs. avoidant patterns, conflict behavior, disclosure pace) without reproducing the validated item stems.
- Provenance label: "Product-authored items inspired by ECR-R conceptual domains; not a validated clinical instrument."
§ 02 — Encoding
How we encode it
- How to interpret our relationship-context scores without overclaiming clinical validity.
