| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) To investigate whether the pattern of frequency differences in attachment behaviors among 4 attachment styles are consistent across attachment figures, means..., and strategies, and (2) to examine their differences in security needs that have been theoretically assumed. 211 college students were asked to respond to a questionnaire. Main findings were as follows, (1) Secure and Preoccupied engaged in attachment behaviors more frequently than Dismissing and Fearful-avoidant, regardless of the types of attachment figures (e.g., mother, romantic partner), means (e.g., mail, telephone), and strategies (proximity-maintenance, expressing own feelings more openly). (2) Secure, Preoccupied, and Fearful rated higher for security needs than Dismissing. Those findings were interpreted to demonstrate the validity of the implicitly held, but prevailing, hypothesis: Adult attachment styles do reflect the corresponding patterns of attachment behaviors.show more
