What are the four types of attachment based on the dimensional approach? Where does each attachment type fall on the dimensions of anxiety and avoidance? Why are these two dimensions sufficient to produce the four outcomes?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- According to the dimensional approach, the four types of attachment are secure attachment, preoccupied attachment, dismissing attachment, and fearful attachment.
- Secure attachment represents being low in anxiety and low in avoidance.
- Preoccupied attachment represents being high in anxiety and low in avoidance.
- Dismissing attachment represents being low in anxiety and high in avoidance.
- Fearful attachment represents being high in anxiety and high in avoidance.
- Anxiety and avoidance are sufficient in this model, because "security" can be conceptualized as low levels of each, just as "fearfulness" can be conceptualized as high levels of each.
- That is, "fearfulness" is not necessarily its own distinct style but rather results from a combination of these other factors.
