Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the Indonesia versions of the Attachment Q-Sort/AQS-Toddler Attachment Sort-45/TAS-45 (Bimler & Kirkland, 2002). Assessing the child's attachment in Indonesia has not been done lately. Data were collected through observation of 84 Indonesian toddlers residing in Yogyakarta. The validity of the TAS-45 was determined by Kirkland (2008) through mapping TAS-45 for the Indonesian users. This study had the inter-rater reliability of 0.92 that indicated the convincing score. The study finding shows the Indonesian AQS/TAS-45 is reliable and valid in for Indonesia children sample and suggest that the TAS-45 Indonesia version reflect similar concept to those in the original English versions.
