| Abstract |
Although many researchers explored relations between adult attachment style and other variables, no one attempted to describe adult attachment behaviors. In this study, we asked 191 college female col...lege students to describe their own experience of attachment behaviors in various daily contexts, by asking: (1) what situation activates their attachment behaviors?, (2) who their attachment figure(s) is (are)?, (3) what kind of behaviors/interactions they engaged in at that, and (4) why they acted in the way they did? Main findings were as follows: (1) the situations that had activated their attachment behaviors were classified into physical damages, psychological damages, damages to close relationships, external crises, and strange situations, (2) principal attachment figures included friends, romantic partner, and family members, which is consistent to the findings of Hazan & Zeifman(1994), (3) their attachment behaviors mainly involved engaging in conversation, with a few proximity seeking behaviors mentioned, (4) their security needs were classified into needs for proximity, instrumental support, and emotional support. These findings suggest that classification scheme proposed in this study may provide a good analysis frame for the future research.show more
