However, the big question is how low and high the score should be to qualify for a particular attachment style.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#ff0000"> Good information in your introduction but it is choppy due to the incomplete sentences.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt;text-indent:36.000000pt"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">The reason for the score on</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#ff0000">attachment-related anxiety</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">is my fear of rejection at work, school, and work.

For things that I can manage to do on my own, I avoid seeking help or assistance to work on them. The survey results show that I lie in a secure region because of the low attachment-related avoidance and attachment-related anxiety. Research on attachment styles shows that people who lie in the stable area tend to have enduring and satisfying relationships with people (Danquah, 2013).</span> </p> <p style="text-align:center;margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt"> <span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Secure Attachment Style</span><span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#ff0000">Reflect on early years of life.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt;text-indent:36.000000pt"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">The secure attachment style was established through the relationships I had with both of my parents.

The score is quite high for attachment-related avoidance because I started avoiding people at a young age. When at school, I faced a lot of bullying from my fellow learners and sometimes the teacher. At this point in life, I developed the</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#ff0000">attach-related avoidance though it was not too much.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"></span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#ff0000">At home, I had no issues with avoiding people.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'"> My thoughts on attachment-related avoidance are that the style is dependent on how those around them treat a child. If children feel love and appreciation, they would have one or less attachment-related avoidance score (Hamachek, 2016). However, if they feel unloved almost always, they become avoidant of the people around them.</span> </p> <p style="text-align:center;margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt"> <span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Other Types of Attachment</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt;text-indent:36.000000pt"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Other attachment styles include preoccupied, dismissing, and fearful-avoidant. Preoccupied attachment style is the result of having high anxiety and low avoidance. Fearful avoidant happens when an individual has high avoidance and high stress. This attachment style shows that someone is In a remarkably enduring relationship with the people around them or a loved one. The dismissing attachment style is for low anxiety people but a higher avoidance of people (Gibson, 2018). They do not have any doubts about love or how people treat them, but they do not want to be around them; all they do is avoid them a lot. The attachment styles are much dependent on how children are treated. Most authors think that attachment style is dependent on the relationship that a mother has with their kid. Children who were mistreated or showed some hated while growing up tend to have an insecure style while those raised and showered with a lot of love end up being secure (Simpson, 2015).</span> </p> <p style="text-align:center;margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt"> <span style="font-weight:bold;font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Conclusion</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt;text-indent:36.000000pt"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Attachment styles affect how someone lives their life as an adult. For instance, when it's time to go for work and avoid people, it may be hard to work with teams. People with a higher attachment-related avoidance score may even quit their jobs if it involves working on getting her as a team. Also, when it comes to marriage, the insecure type of people may never believe that their partner loves them enough and would always think about the worst of they are not around them. Attachment styles also affect people to the extent that's they may not want to be involved in an intimate relationship (Danquah, 2013). When it comes to parenting, attachment styles affect how one relates to their children. People with dismissing and fearful-avoidant attachment styles will bring up children with the same methods or worse.</span> </p> <p style="margin-bottom:5.000000pt;margin-top:5.000000pt;text-indent:36.000000pt"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman'">Also, attachment styles affect our relationship with God. For instance, people who feel unloved may wonder if God loves them and fails to seek His guidance. People should know that the relationship with God is independent of the relationship with others and ask God more, for He loves us all. Personal growth is needed when it comes to religion and relationships with others (Simpson, 2018). God requires us to have good relationships with others; the Bible mentions that we should love one another and work together. Attachment is an essential theory in human development as it helps us understand our attachment styles and try to change where we can to have better relationships with others.</span> </p> <h2 id="AbiTOC0" awml:style="heading 2"> <span style="font-family:'Times New Roman';color:#ff0000">Mrs. Stone, thank you for your paper.
