Abstract

Psychologists have divided one’s secure levels into three types of attachment: secure attachment style, anxious attachment style, and avoidant attachment style. These types of attachment are easily formed due to parental neglect and environmental anxiety during infant periods. Although the attachment styles took shape during the early age of life, they continue to largely influence ones in their other important stage of life, intimate relationships. Therefore, the purpose of this research paper is to examine whether a close and healthy intimate relationship later in life can play a positive effect on the attachment styles that people form during their infancy. This research article applies literature reviews to articulate that a good-quality relationship can help people relieve from anxious attachment.

It notes three indicators to determine a good-quality relationship, emotional stress, trustiness, and depression. The results of this study present that emotional stress and depression are highly negative correlation, while trustiness shows a close positive correlation with the anxious attachment style. In conclusion, based on the correlation, a good-quality relationship can play a positive role on anxiously attached individuals.
