Attachment Style

• Formed based on different interaction and behaviors in a relationship (Cherry, 2022)

• Interaction with parents + significant other

• Four types of parenting styles (Gorostiaga, et al., 2019)

- authoritative = unrestrictive, involving with necessary boundaries

- authoritarian = extremely strict and controlling

- permissive = barely have any rules set and give huge amount of autonomy

- neglectful = do not show any interest and allow them to do everything

• Demandingness and responsiveness (Maccoby & Martin, 1983)

• Ciccarelli and White (2015), there are few kinds of attachment styles

- secure attachment = secured, trust that their needs will always be fulfilled (sensitive and consistent caretakers)

- avoidant attachment = emotional and distant, needs may not be met (disengaged caretakers)

- ambivalent attachment = anxious and insecure, cause children to not rely on them to have their needs met (inconsistent and sometimes neglectful caretakers)

- disorganized attachment = depressed and nonresponsive, very confused with the possibilities of their needs being satisfied (extreme erratic and passive caretakers)
