Abstract in brief

  • The article suggests that romantic love can be understood as an attachment process similar to the bonds formed between infants and their parents, involving patterns of attachment styles such as secure, avoidant, and anxious-ambivalent.
  • The authors translate attachment theory from childhood to adulthood, emphasizing how early relationship styles influence adult romantic relationships through mental models called "inner working models" of self and others.
  • Studies indicate that attachment styles are consistent from childhood to adulthood, affecting how people experience love and attachment, with implications for understanding and measuring romantic relationships.]

恋人への依存があれよあれよと変化してゆく。 〜〜〜〜〜 親子関係において不安定な愛着を形成すると、成人後の恋愛でも相手への過度な依存や長期的関係維持の困難さにつながりやすいと指摘されている。 参考論文（Hazan & Shaver, 1987）： https://t.co/iiGh06XNTY
