Abstrakt: Experiences in close relationships - revised (ECR-R) is a widely used questionnaire to measure adult attachment in romantic and marital relationships. Despite its popularity, a Hindi version of ECR-R is missing. Hindi is a dominant language in India; absence of Hindi ECR-R hinders both research and practice in the Indian context. The present study was aimed to fill this gap by providing culturally validated ECR-R. The study (N = 337, community sample, 53.41% females) evaluated the psychometric properties of Hindi ECR-R. The confirmatory factor analysis supports the presence of two-factor model as originally theorized in ECR-R. The support for discriminant validity is provided by negative correlation with inclusion of other in self (IOS) scale. The study contributes methodologically by providing an adequate instrument to measure attachment styles in the Indian context, which could be a valuable resource for practitioners and researchers alike.
