Frequently asked questions
What is attachment theory?
It is a theory in psychology, created by John Bowlby and Mary Ainsworth, about how childhood bonds shape the way a person relates to others. In adults, it is usually described in four styles: secure, anxious, avoidant and disorganized.
How does the quiz reach the result?
It measures two dimensions used in research with adults: anxiety (fear of abandonment and need for reassurance) and avoidance (discomfort with closeness and dependence). The combination of the two defines the style.
Can an attachment style change?
Yes. The style is not a life sentence: stable relationships, self-knowledge and psychotherapy help develop a more secure attachment. This quiz is a short questionnaire and does not replace an assessment by a psychologist.
