    This document discusses stability of attachment over time. It begins by describing some of the key signals that attract adults' attention to babies, as identified by Bowlby and Lorenz, including crying, smiling, sucking, calling, approaching, and tracking. It then discusses Harlow's studies on attachment and outlines two main dimensions - anxiety and proximity seeking vs avoidance - that describe differences in adult attachment styles. Finally, it discusses two models of continuity of attachment style over time - the revisionist model where early styles may be revised, and the prototype model where early styles are retained and have ongoing effects. It concludes by noting the document will discuss long-term outcomes of different attachment styles.

    • Two main dimensions in which
    people differ regarding their close
    relationships:

    Attachment Ø High vs. Low anxiety: concern


    in adulthood about whether others really
    love them; fear of rejection.
    (Fraley, 2002)
    Ø Proximity seeking vs.
    avoidance: dependence on
    others; opening up to others.

    TWO-DIMENSION SPACE

    (1)
    = avoidant = disorganized
    Attachment Styles

    (2)
    = ambivalent Psychological similarities
    and opposites

    yellow = mother; blue = father, red = partner; green = friend


    Current attachment style (Hazan & Shaver, 1987)
    (a) 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 often worry
    about being abandoned or about someone getting too close to me. SECURE

    (b) 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, love partners want me to be
    more intimate than I feel comfortable being. AVOIDANT

    (c) 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 merge completely with another person, and this desire sometimes scares
    people away. AMBIVALENT
    WORKING MODELS
    Is attachment
    style stable over
    time?
    On the stability of the attachment style
    Two alternative continuity models derived from
    Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969):
    • Revisionist model: early attachment
    representations are revised and updated in light
    of ongoing experience, and consequently may
    or may not correspond to later attachment
    representations.
    • Prototype model: early attachment
    representations are retained throughout
    development and have an ongoing effect on
    attachment dynamics throughout the life course.
