PSY 322 5-2 Short Paper: Attachment Styles (Prompt, Info, & Resources)
Adolescence is a period when relationships and romance take center stage. However, a significant body of research demonstrates a link between adolescent (and adult) relationship functioning and attachment characteristics and styles acquired in infancy. That is, developmental research has connected mother-infant attachment problems to subsequent adult relationship issues.
In this paper, evaluate the ways in which differing infant attachment patterns manifest in adolescent romantic relationships. Using at least two scholarly articles from the Shapiro Library, as well as your textbook, describe the following:
· How each infant attachment style manifests in later romantic relationships
· Under what conditions each attachment style can produce healthy, lasting relationships
Conclude by offering ideas and information from your research to answer the following question: When an unhealthy attachment style hinders relationship functioning, can the person change their attachment style? If so, how?
