Attachment Theory and Relationships

What attachment theory predicts about adult romantic relationships

The Theory

Attachment theory -- the developmental framework that John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth established and that the adult attachment researchers have extended to the romantic relationship domain -- predicts the specific patterns of proximity seeking, distress management, and partner appraisal that the early childhood attachment experiences produce in the specific strategies that adults bring to their intimate relationships.

The Adult Patterns

The adult attachment patterns: the secure adults whose early attachment experiences produced the specific confidence in their own worth and the specific trust in partner availability that characterises security; the anxious adults whose early experiences produced the specific hypervigilance to rejection cues and the specific reassurance seeking that anxious attachment generates; and the avoidant adults whose early experiences produced the specific suppression of attachment needs that the avoidant strategy represents.
