Discuss attachment and intimate relationships in adulthood


Problem: How can I make notes with bullet points in this paragraph? Many researchers have been curious about whether there are links between early attachment relationships and intimate relationships in adulthood (Zeifman & Hazan, 2016). Cindy Hazan and Phillip Shaver (1987, 1990) looked at this issue by translating Ainsworth's three attachment types into a questionnaire to assess how adults' approach intimate relationships. According to the questionnaire, adults with secure intimate relationships enjoyed closeness and found intimacy easy to establish. They agreed with the following statements: "I find it relatively easy to get close to other people. I am comfortable depending on other people and having them depend on me. I don't usually worry about being abandoned or about having someone get too close to me." Adults with avoidant relationships were uncomfortable with closeness and found it difficult to trust their partners. They agreed with the statements: "I am somewhat uncomfortable being close to others. I feel nervous when people start to get too close. Often, I feel like people want me to be more intimate than I feel comfortable being. I find it difficult to allow myself to depend on other people. I find it difficult to trust people completely. Adults with anxious relationships worried constantly about being abandoned. They agreed with the statements: "I find that other people are reluctant to get as close as I would like.
