In this study the attachment and individuation in deaf individuals were measured using a scale of fear of attachment (FA) and the fear of individuation (FI) from Kaplan. Research conducted on 66 people deaf. The validity of measuring instruments is .324 - .623 to .247 gauge and the FA - .555 to .786 and FI with the reliability of .709. Based on the results of measurement is known that the empirical mean score higher than average scores on both the theoretical aspects of the measure.
