2. Describe the model of attachment described by Kim Bartholomew (1990) and the attachment styles that go with the model.

Feedback: The model is based on how people view themselves (a scale going from positive and self-confident to negative and anxious) and how people view others (a scale that goes from positive and seeks intimacy to negative and avoids intimacy).

A person has secure attachment if they have a positive model of themselves and others. They are comfortable with intimacy and autonomy in close relationships, and they are self-confident and resolve conflict constructively. About 54 per cent of the population are in this category.

A person has dismissing attachment if they have a positive view of themselves and a negative view of others. They are compulsively self-reliant, distant in relationships, and downplay the importance of intimate relationships. About 18 per cent of people have a dismissive style of attachment.

A person who has a negative view of themselves and a positive view of others has a preoccupied style of attachment characterized by being overly invested and involved in close relationships, dependent on others for self-worth, and having a demanding, needy, approach orientation toward others. About 10 to 14 per cent of the population has a preoccupied attachment style.

Finally, people with a negative view of themselves and others will have a fearful attachment style characterized by being dependent on others but avoiding intimacy due to fear of rejection, and having low self-esteem and high attachment anxiety. About 15 to 18 per cent of the population has a fearful attachment style.

Fearful: I am uncomfortable getting close to others. I want emotionally close relationships, but I find it difficult to trust others completely, or to depend on them. I worry that I will be hurt if I allow myself to become too close to others.

Dismissing: I am comfortable without close emotional relationships. It is very important to me to feel independent and self-sufficient, and I prefer not to depend on others or have others depend on me.

As well, women may struggle with the sexual double standard that exists, whereby women who hook up are often viewed more negatively compared to their male counterparts.

Title: Chapter 12 Question 05

5. Describe in detail the characteristics of the components of Sternberg's triangular theory of love.

Feedback: The three components are intimacy, passion, and commitment (decision). In this theory, intimacy involves feelings of closeness and connection to a loved one and includes feelings that lead to warmth in a relationship. Passion involves physical arousal and attraction and often is characterized by a drive to be sexual with one's partner; at the same time, other strong needs, such as a need to be nurtured by one's partner, may also add to the experience of passion in a relationship. Passion is often the earliest of the components to emerge in a romantic relationship, and, given that it is the component that is least under conscious control, it is the most difficult to sustain. Commitment, in the short term, is the decision that one person loves another; in the long term, it is the decision to maintain that love. The short- and long-term aspects of commitment do not always go together, as one can love someone in the short term yet not be committed to the relationship over a long period of time, or vice versa

7. Describe the theory of "love as a story." Provide one example.

Feedback: The theory of "love as a story" tries to explain how different types of triangles and love develop. It states that we are exposed to various stories about what love is—by watching other people or movies, or reading fairy tales, for example—and eventually develop our own love stories based on our own personalities and experiences. The theory also suggests that we strive to fulfil these stories, and that relationships are most satisfying when partners' stories are closely matched—indeed, research has found that the greater the similarity between love stories, the more likely partners are to be satisfied in their relationship.
