According to Bowlby and Ainsworth, what type of adult attachment style does Jason have? Explain.

What will be an ideal response?


Glenn describes his grandfather, Jason, as distant and aloof. Glenn’s mother described Jason, her father, as uninvolved. Both of these descriptions indicate behavior typical of an avoidant attachment style. This most likely developed because of Jason’s own relationship with his father. Jason’s relationship with his father was described as “distant” by family members. In fact, Jason’s father was also described as an “uninvolved” parent. Because of this, Jason most likely would have had difficulty forming a secure relationship with his father.
