(a) After viewing “Secure, Insecure, Avoidant and Ambivalent Attachment” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCkB_I392Y8) access
Fraley, R. C. (2021). Adult Attachment Theory and Research: A Brief Overview http://labs.psychology.illinois.edu/~rcfraley/attachment.htm
(b) Take the adult attachment Relationship Structures test
http://www.yourpersonality.net/cgi-bin/relstructures/relstructures.pl
Share with us what you learned about yourself, how your personal relationship choices fit a pattern, the kind of relationship that is most comfortable for you, and any ideal changes you might wish to make to gain an even better sense of well-being (For example, suppose you have a dismissing-avoidant tendency, a preoccupied tendency, or a fearful-avoidant tendency. Are you comfortable with it or would prefer to address it and make positive changes in your well-being? The same if you have a secure tendency. Can you imagine any changes that might possibly increase your present well-being? How might it be possible to go about making any such changes in your “relationship structures?” Of course we are dealing here with an ability to communicate with, and being able to discuss your feelings with, others).
c) Go to: http://personalitygrowth.com/cognitive-functions/ and read about both extroverted feeling and introverted feeling functions. Tell us how you think your personal preference for each of these functions may relate to your adult attachment relationship structure.
