Define some characteristics of Hazan and Shaver's notion of Anxious/Ambivalent Attachment Types

What will be an ideal response?


Insecurity is the hallmark of this adult attachment type. When an adult shows this type of attachment, it is not a matter of if a romantic partner leaves them, but when. With the constant fear or worry that the partner isn't really in love with them, anxious/ambivalent adults latch onto or cling to their partner and push for commitment - and in doing so, oftentimes push the partner completely out of the picture. Poor attachment in [adulthood] can prohibit a person from getting too emotionally close to an attachment figure, causing them to withdraw and pull away before they get rejected.
