Implicit Measure Of Adult Attachment In GNAT

Attaehment theory has been used by the developmental Psychologists andsoeial Psychologists to study social adaptation and intimate relationship,theresults have been applied to the fields of Parent-child edueation,psychologicalcounseling and treatlnent,and other field. The research tools to improve thepractical application of the theory plays a major role, but at present the studyof adult attachment tool is still using explicit self-report method, reliable andeffective implicit measuring tool is not much. Despite the existence ofresearchers using the priming paradigm, the Implicit Association Test (IAT)experimental paradigm to do the research on adult attachment, but these toolshas its own shortcomings, making the results very different. An effective,reliable and comprehensive measurement method can not only greatlyenriched the theoretical study, but can be very good to promote the progressof this research in the field, as well as provide a reference for the research ofothers.In this study, Nosek, and Banaji (2001) Implicit Measures of adultattachment GNAT experimental procedure based on the IAT The Go/NoGoparadigm Association Task (the GNAT), prepared their own. Select120college students, grouping measured way to explore the different sensitivityindex (d ’) and reaction time indicators on the self-attitude and others attitudewas implicit measure within the GNAT data collation and analysis may the following conclusions:1. GNAT implicit in adult attachment measurement method research on thisone problem is effective. To ECR-R explicit attached to the measurement ofthe two dimensions of the standard for effect, GNAT implicit measurement ofthe self and others attitude attitude in the sensitivity index (d’) and the twodimensions of the related significant, among them self attitude and anxietydimension of related to0.355(p <0.01), others avoid dimensions of attitudeand related to0.287(p <0.05), although the data related small, butsignificantly different2. GNAT implicit in adult attachment measurement method research on thisone problem is credible. By comparing the GNAT try implicit measurement ofself and others on the attitude to the sensitivity of the attitude index (d ‘) and ahalf validity, and correlation coefficient is0.720, GNAT that implicitmeasurement has good internal consistency reliability.3. Different attachment style to GNAT implicit in the measurement of theself attitude and others attitude sensitivity index (d ") significant difference (F(7260)=35.602, p=000); Reaction index on significant difference (F (7276)=21.804, p=000); A safety test and fear type is try explicit measurement andimplicit consistent measure; Infatuated with type is try and nonchalance typeis the explicit try measurement and implicit measurement inconsistency.
