conducted a study to test the internal working model, by investigating the idea that early attachment styles would be reflected in adult romantic relationships, as predicted by Bowlby.
PROCEDURE (Hazan and Shaver)
They analysed 620 responses (205 from men and 415 from Women) to a ‘love quiz’ printed in a local North American newspaper. The questionnaire asked questions about their current attachment type by asking respondents to choose which of three statements best described their feelings about romantic relationships
FINDINGS (Hazan and Shaver)
When analysing the self-reports questionnaires, they found that the percentage of adults in the different attachment types broadly matched those in Ainsworth’s strange situation
