In brief: Separation anxiety isn't just for children; it can persist or emerge in adulthood.
Separation anxiety isn't just for children; it can persist or emerge in adulthood. It is characterized by an excessive and persistent fear of being separated from people to whom one is attached. This test evaluates three essential dimensions: the distress experienced during separations, the worry of losing a loved one, and behaviors of emotional dependency. The results will help you better understand your relationship with attachment.
What the Test Measures
- Intensity of emotional and physical distress during separation.
- Excessive fear that harm will come to a loved one or that they will disappear.
- Excessive need for the presence and approval of attachment figures.
How to Interpret Your Score
The result indicates an intensity, not a diagnosis:
- Low Separation Anxiety: Your level of separation anxiety is low. You manage separations well and maintain a healthy, secure attachment with your loved ones.
- Moderate Separation Anxiety: You show signs of moderate separation anxiety. Separations affect you more than average and may influence your decisions.
- High Separation Anxiety: Your separation anxiety is significantly high. The fear of separation and loss impacts your daily life and life choices. Therapeutic support is recommended.
- Very High Separation Anxiety: Your separation anxiety is very high and is a major source of distress. Specialized therapeutic follow-up is strongly recommended to regain more autonomy.
