Abstract in brief

  • The study introduces a new four-category model of adult attachment styles based on combinations of positive or negative self-image and positive or negative view of others, resulting in four prototypic patterns.
  • Research findings from Study 1 confirmed the model's validity by showing that attachment style ratings correlated with self-report measures of self-concept and interpersonal problems, with each style having a distinct interpersonal profile.
  • In Study 2, the model was tested across family and peer relationships, and results replicated, indicating that attachment styles with peers are related to those with family, supporting the model's broader applicability to different social contexts.
