Previous literature reports a strong relationship between insecure attachment
styles and relationship satisfaction (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2015). both anxiety
and avoidance are detrimental to relationship satisfaction, as individuals who
are more anxious or more avoidant report lower levels of relationship
satisfaction. The attachment theory represents an important framework for the
explanations of how adults form romantic relationships. Hazan and Shaver
(1987) proposed three attachment styles that describe the interactions between
romantic partners during adulthood. Those with high security are emotionally
close and intimate with their partner and reciprocate the interactions. Avoidance
is characterized by mistrust and disinterest in the partner. Finally, anxious
individuals are afraid of being betrayed and abandoned (Shaver & Mikulincer,
2005).

An individual’s attachment extends from their relationship with their primary
caregiver, affecting subsequent meaningful relationships in their life (Ainsworth et
al., 2015; Bowlby, 1980). Based on this theory, anxious individuals tend to fear
rejection and abandonment, and to be vigilant for signs of disinterest or betrayal
(Ainsworth et al., 2015;Bowlby, 1980).As such, highly anxious individuals tend to
distrust their partners, anticipate partner infidelity, and be more jealous
(TopluDemirtas et al., 2020). In turn, avoidant individuals tend to express their need
for comfort by isolating themselves, have low expectations for their partners, are
unlikely to act with aggression (Fournier et al., 2011), are less committed to their
partners, invest less in their romantic relationships, and are less responsive to their
partner’s needs (Wardecker et al., 2016).

People form models of social relationships called attachment styles based on their
early experiences with their parents or primary caregivers and how responsive they
were to their needs. This results in 4 major attachment styles – Secure; Dismissive
Avoidant; Anxious Preoccupied; Disorganised. Usually, they can be described like
this:
Secure – one’s needs are fully satisfied at early age so you believe that people are
good, trustworthy,
Dismissive Avoidant – neglected parenting from childhood. You see the others
