IWM (Internal Working Model)- Based on Parenting, It’s like a template/framework on yourrelations in the future and how it influences your adulthood.
Hazan and Shaver (1987)
Aim: To test the internal working model by looking at the association between early
attachment and adult relationships
Procedure: They placed a “love quiz” in a local newspaper asking questions about 3 key
features:
● Current and most important relationships
● Attachment history/ attachment type
● The IWM was assessed by questions focusing on attitudes towards love
● 620 responses: 205 men, 415 women

Overall I’m insecure avoidant (more likely to be jealous- trust issues, and fear of
intimacy)
56% identified as securely attached, 25% insecure-avoidant, 19% insecure resistant
Secure attachment
- Most likely to have long lasting healthy romantic relationship and experiences
- Positive IWM
- Described their love experiences as happy, loving and friendly
Insecure resistant
- Revealed insecurity and clinginess
- A relationship was found between conception of love (IWM- internal working model)
and attachment type).
Conclusion
Secure adults: positive relationships, high trust, positive image of mother as caring.
Resistant: Falls in love easily but finds it difficult to find a “true love”, conflicting feelings
towards mother.
