Romantic Relationships are Attachments

Three Styles of Attachment  Secure I find it relatively easy to get close to others and am comfortable depending on them and having them depend on me. I don’t worry about being abandoned or about someone getting close to me.  Avoidant I am somewhat uncomfortable being close to others; I find it difficult to trust them completely, difficult to allow myself to depend on them. I am nervous when anyone gets too close, and often, others want me to be more intimate than I feel comfortable being.  Anxious/Resistant I find that others are reluctant to get as close as I would like. I often worry that my partner doesn’t really love me or won’t want to stay with me. I want to get very close to my partner, and this sometimes scares people away.

Attachment and Dating  Tendency to have a partner of similar style  Why?  Secure partners are attractive  Influence of partner

Impact on Relationship Functioning Higher security…  More satisfying relationships  Less conflict  More enduring relationships  More likely to provide support to partner in times of distress
