Emotional autonomyEmotional Autonomy Scale (Steinberg & Silverberg, 1986). We used a translation made by the research team following theback translation method. The EAS comprises 20 items answered on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from strongly disagreeto strongly agree. A high score on the scale is thought to be indicative of greater emotional autonomy. The scale comprises foursubscales, two measuring affective aspects of autonomy (Nondependency on parents and Individuation from parents), and twomeasuring cognitive aspects (Perceives parents as people and Parental deidealization). Sample items are: “I go to my parents forhelp before trying to solve a problem myself” (reverse-coded; Nondependency on Parents), “My parents know everythingthere is to know about me” (reverse-coded; Individuation), “I have often wondered how my parents act when I'm not around”(Perceives Parents as People), “My parents and I agree on everything” (reverse-coded; Deidealization). The Spanish version ofthe scale has demonstrated concurrent and predictive validity in earlier research (Oliva & Parra, 2001). Bearing in mind thedebate about the factorial structure of the instrument, we took the conservative approach, using its global score, alsoconsidering that this demonstrated an improved reliability and validity indicator than the 4 sub-scales separately. The scale'sreliability for each of the measuring times was as follows: Cronbach's alpha ¼ .66, .75, .79, and .81, in W1, W2, W3 and W4respectively
