Document Summary

Describe provocative finding of hazen & shaver 1987: In this study they used the worst absolute difference manner. Describe 3 ways you may be attached and then ask 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: comfortable and at ease in romantic relationship, indicates a secure attachment, this same kind of concept has been used with mothers and infants. 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 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: anxious-ambivalent.
