The Child Attachment Interview (CAI) was designed to assess attachment representation in middle childhood-filling a gap between behavioral paradigms and adult interviews-and has demonstrated adequate psychometric properties in middle childhood and adolescence. To date, the CAI has not been available in Spanish, given the absence of an accepted translation and psychometric data. Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world, and assessment of attachment in an individual's native language is critical given differences in emotional processing, memory, and disclosure in first versus second languages. We translated the CAI (with consultation from its creator) utilizing standardized translation and back-translation procedures and examined its psychometric properties in a sample of Spanish-speaking high school students. In this study, we report on that process and data gathered from N = 94 Spanish-speaking adolescents in grades 9-12; 20% were double-coded and interrater reliability was acceptable. Findings support the single factor "Security-Dismissal" model, and relations between classifications and subscales were consistent with previous findings. Support for convergent and discriminant validity was provided for both classifications and subscales; however, concurrent validity varied across classifications and subscales. In sum, our translation demonstrates psychometric promise for the assessment of internal working models of attachment in Spanish-speaking high school students.

儿童依恋访谈的第一批数据和翻译（西班牙语）。

儿童依恋访谈（CAI）旨在评估童年中期的依恋表征，填补行为范式和成人访谈之间的空白，并在童年中期和青春期展示了足够的心理测量特性。迄今为止，由于缺乏公认的翻译和心理测量数据，CAI 尚未提供西班牙语版本。西班牙语是世界上第二大语言，鉴于第一语言和第二语言在情感处理、记忆和披露方面的差异，对个人母语的依恋评估至关重要。我们利用标准化翻译和回译程序翻译了 CAI（经其创建者咨询），并在西班牙语高中生样本中检查了其心理测量特性。在这项研究中，我们报告了从 94 名 9-12 年级讲西班牙语的青少年中收集的过程和数据；20% 是双重编码的，并且评估者之间的可靠性是可以接受的。研究结果支持单因素“安全-解雇”模型，分类和子量表之间的关系与之前的研究结果一致。为分类和分量表提供了对收敛效度和判别效度的支持；然而，不同分类和分量表的并发有效性各不相同。总之，我们的翻译展示了心理测量学对评估西班牙语高中生依恋内部工作模式的前景。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2023 APA，保留所有权利）。
