Attachment Theory on Appraisal Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 239 Appraisal theory/attachment theory/Shaver/Mikulincer: Adult attachment research has provided extensive evidence concerning the role of attachment working models in a person’s appraisals of the self and others. Numerous studies have shown that insecure >working models (>Terminology/Bowlby) are associated with negative appraisals of other people. Specifically, individuals scoring higher on attachment anxiety or avoidance have been found to hold a more negative view of human nature (Collins and Read 1990)(1), use more negative traits to describe relationship partners (e.g., Feeney and Noller 1991)(2), perceive these partners as less supportive and trustworthy (e.g., Collins and Read 1990(1); Davis, Morris and Kraus 1998(3)), and believe that their partners do not truly know them (Brennan and Bosson 1998(4)). Both anxiety and avoidance are also associated with negative expectations concerning a partner’s behaviour (e.g., Baldwin, Fehr, Keedian et al. 1993(5)). >About the Attachment theory. 1. Collins, N.
