Early experiences with caregivers become internalized into aworking model of expectations about self and others that can providethe basis for subsequent responses to stressful experiences.Attachment theory research has explored how this internalized workingmodel influences the way in which individuals respond to stress andutilize coping resources.Percentage with social withdrawalA study examined the relationship between attachment style,distress, and use of coping strategies to regulate emotion in a sampleof ambulance workers following exposure to a critical incident.Attachment style was measured with a questionnaire that assessedambulance workers' feelings about close relationships along threeattachment dimensions: secure, avoidant, and anxious-ambivalent. Onlythose ambulance workers whose scores reflected avoidant attachmentwere retained as participants in the study.Ambulance workers were then asked to identify a critical incidentthey encountered in the past. Use of coping strategies and supportseeking within 24 hours of responding to a critical incident weremeasured. Additionally, somatic complaints, symptoms of burnout,depression, and distress, including recalling physical and emotionalstress responses, were measured.Results revealed that an avoidant attachment style wassignificantly associated with distress and symptoms of burnout,depression, and somatic complaints following exposure to a criticalincident. This attachment style was also significantly associated withfew social contacts, low satisfaction with social support, andmaladaptive coping strategies.Adapted from J. Halpern, R. G. Maunder, B.
