Psychology assignment 14003

   Based on the work of Phillip Shaver and others, Baumeister and Bushman (2014) describe four types of adult attachment styles: secure, preoccupied, dismissing avoidant, and fearful avoidant. Research has identified that these attachment styles can be readily classified (Shaver, as cited in Baumeister & Bushman, 2014). In Robert Sternberg’s (1986) triangular theory of love, he identifies seven types of adult love based on levels of three dimensions: passion, intimacy, and commitment.      Types of Adult Love   Type of Adult Love Dimension   Infatuation Passion   Fatuous love Passion and commitment   Liking Intimacy   Empty love Commitment   Romantic love Passion and intimacy   Companionate love Intimacy and commitment   Consummate love Passion, intimacy, and commitment Look in the Capella library for research articles on the topic of attachment styles in adulthood, theories of love, and the relationship between attachment styles and types of love. Select one article that considers the relationship between attachment styles and types of love to use in this discussion. Discussion For this discussion, consider connections between adult attachment styles and the types of love adults develop. Using the article you selected, examine the relationship between Sternberg’s triangular theory of love and types of adult attachment described by Baumeister and Bushman.
