Summary Introduction

Introduction

Attachment style is demonstrated in the way a person relates to others. It is believed that a person's attachment style is formed when he or she is an infant. The relationship with the primary caregiver at this age is the primary influence on which attachment style a person develops and like maintains throughout their life. In general terms, secure attachment is exhibited by those who had a positive relationship with the primary caregiver, leading to a feeling of trust and security. Those with avoidant attachment style often had a less that satisfactory relationship with the caregiver, giving rise to distant and aloof interactions. Finally, anxious/ambivalent attachment stems from an inability to predict the caregivers' reaction to any given situation, leading to clinginess and fear of abandonment.
