Attachment Theory on Emotions - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 230 Emotions/Attachment theory/Shaver/Mikulincer: Proximity to the “attachment figures” becomes a source of positive emotions (e.g., joy, gratitude, relief), whereas separation and distance from these figures become sources of anxiety, psychological pain and distress. Although the attachment system is most important early in life, Bowlby (1988)(1) claimed it is active over the entire lifespan and is manifest in thoughts and behaviours related to seeking proximity in times of need. 1.
