Psychological Theories on Attachment Theory - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 228 Attachment theory/psychological theories/Shaver/Mikulincer: attachment theory provided an alternative psychodynamic framework for conceptualizing human motivation and socio-emotional bonds, but it might not have captured the attention of developmental, personality, social and clinical researchers if it had done only that. What captured research psychologists’ attention were the patterns or styles of attachment emphasized in Bowlby’s (1973(1), 1980(2)) theory and operationalized in Ainsworth’s research on mother-infant dyads (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters and Wall 1978)(3).
