Explain the difference between dismissing attachment and fearful attachment. Provide an example of each attachment style.
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer would include the following key points:
- Both dismissing and fearful attachment are subtypes of the original avoidant attachment style.
- Fearful people are afraid of getting hurt, whereas dismissing people do not care about relationships that much.
- Fearfully attached individuals think others are difficult to trust and do want to form relationships, whereas dismissing people are not as interested in forming relationships in the first place.
- For example, Manolo avoids relationships because he does not want to get emotionally close to other people, but he does not feel anxious about them or his lack of interpersonal connections. Manolo would exhibit dismissing attachment.
- Laurel has a negative view of herself and a negative view of others, leading her to feel anxious about being in relationships. True to her fearful style, she therefore avoids relationships.
