Document Summary
We need frequent, pleasant interactions with intimate partners in lasting, caring. It doesn"t matter much who are partners are. Form relationships easily and are distress when they end. Being entirely alone for long periods is quite stressful. They either found it difficult to trust and depend on their partners or they nervously. Trust: expect to be treated fairly and honestly. The need to belong relationships if we"re to function normally. Relationship researchers cindy hazan and phillip shaver (1987) found that while most people (60%) said that they were relaxed and comfortable depending on others, a substantial minority (about 40%) said they were insecure worried that their relationships wouldn"t last. Two broad themes underlie & distinguish these four styles of attachment. Secure = wants closeness, does not worry about rejection. Preoccupied = wants closeness but anxiously fears rejection. Dismissive = doesn"t like closeness & doesn"t worry about rejection. Fearful = uncomfortable with intimacy & worries it won"t last.
