Experiences in Close Relationship-Revisited (ECR-R) are the most frequently used measure of self-reported adult attachment. Numerous studies have shown its general utility and similarity across language translations and cultures; some studies showed important differences in attachment style structure and also the need to reword/adapt some items. We explored the psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R on a general adult sample (Study 1, n = 921). In Study 2 (n = 100) participants also filled out the Slovak version of NEO-FFI for further information on its relation to the major personality structure theory for concurrent and sEMBU for convergent validity. The results showed good psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R. Factor analysis sorted items to scales exactly as authors of ECR-R presupposed. We found mild to moderate correlation between Anxiety and Neuroticism and Avoidance and Neuroticism; and mild correlation to some sEMBU scales. We also discuss what would help to improve knowledge and utility of the Slovak version of ECR-R.

The study explores the relationships between decision-making styles in hospital nurses and their attachment styles in adulthood as well as the possible mediation of these associations by self-regulation. It is based on the assumption that attachment styles, defined as mental working models of self and others, affect the decision-making process in nurses, whose profession includes frequent interaction with other people. The research sample included 161 nurses from the Children’s University Hospital in Bratislava, Slovakia. Attachment styles were measured by the Relationship Questionnaire, self-regulation by the Self-regulation Scale, and decision-making styles by the Melbourne Decision Making Questionnaire. Correlation analysis showed that two insecure attachment styles (anxious-preoccupied and fearful-avoidant) correlated positively with the preference of maladaptive decision-making styles (hypervigilance, buck-passing and procrastination). Mediation analysis revealed that these relationships are mediated by self-regulation, which means that the effect of attachment styles on decision-making styles might be carried by self-regulation ability. The results point to the role that attachment might play in the specific context of nursing.

There is evidence that different types of irrational thinking and beliefs are significant predictors of questionable and maladaptive COVID-19 related health practices. In this study, we investigated the role of two under-researched types of irrational thinking, more typical for a clinical setting: irrational beliefs defined in Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT) and attachment anxiety and avoidance. We investigated whether REBT irrational beliefs, attachment dimensions, and conspiracy mentality mediated the relationship between personality traits, on the one side, and COVID-19 health behaviours, on the other. We proposed that HEXACO personality traits, and especially Disintegration (proneness to psychotic-like experiences) predicted irrational thinking and beliefs, which in turn predicted higher susceptibility to questionable health practices. Structural equation modelling on a sample of 287 participants from the general population showed that Disintegration was related to REBT irrational beliefs, attachment dimensions, and conspiracy mentality, highlighting the important effect of Disintegration on irrational thinking and beliefs. Conspiracy mentality mediated the effects of Disintegration to low adherence to recommended health behaviours – RHB, and greater use of pseudoscientific practices – PSP. Attachment anxiety mediated the relationship between high Disintegration, high Emotionality (E), and low Honesty (H), and lower adherence to RHB. REBT irrational beliefs and attachment avoidance did not mediate the relationship between personality traits and COVID-19 health behaviours.
