Attachment Theory on Unconscious - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 232
Unconscious/Bowlby/attachment theory/Shaver/Mikulincer: Bowlby (1973)(1) assumed that the residues of (…) social encounters are stored as mental representations of person-environment transactions, which he called working models of self and other, and that these representations shape the functioning of a person’s behavioural system and the way he or she behaves in particular social situations.
>J. Bowlby
, >Working models.
These models presumably operate mainly at a cortical level and in both unconscious and fairly reflective and intentional ways. Even when they initially operate consciously, however, with repeated use they can become automatic and unconscious, either as most well-formed habits do or by virtue of motivated defensive manoeuvres. These models are an important source of within-person continuity over time and individual differences between persons, so they are properly regarded as important aspects of personality.
