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.
