Relationship science has proliferated in the last few years.However,most of these studies have remained focused on western culture.An important reason for the lack of relationship studies in the non-western,particularly Indian context,is the lack of culturally validated scales.The present study was aimed at assessing the psychometric properties of the relationship structure(ECR-RS)scale.ECR-RS is a nine-item questionnaire used to measure attachment patterns for different relationships.It has been translated and modified in multiple languages.The study(N=223,undergraduate students,32.7%females)evaluated the Hindi version of ECR-RS scale’s psychometric properties for mother,father,close friend,and global attachment.The confirmatory factor analysis supports the presence of the two-factor model as originally theorized in ECR-RS.The findings support the reliability and validity of Hindi ECR-RS.The study contributes methodologically by providing an instrument of attachment styles,which could be a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers in the Indian context.
