Thesis (Ph.D.)--Fielding Graduate University, 2008.

Using two attachment measures, one that relies on analysis of defensive processing, discourse and content (the Adult Attachment Projective (AAP: George, West, & Pettem, 2005) and one that incorporates the underlying dimensions of attachment-related anxiety and avoidance (the Experience in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R: Fraley, Waller, & Brennan, 2000), the link between severe attachment-related anxiety and distress was explored. Although each measure comprises a distinct method and domain of assessment, both arise from attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969/1982, 1988). Since insecure attachment in general has been linked with increased distress (Mikulincer & Florian, 2001) it was hypothesized that severe attachment anxiety (which theoretically affords even less effective attachment-patterned responses to challenge) would be associated with an overall higher level of distress, regardless of the assessment method used. As hypothesized, whether evaluated using AAP segregated system markers or the ECR-R underlying dimension of anxiety, the results indicate that both constructs of attachment-related anxiety appear significantly related to distress. The AAP assessed classification of unresolved attachment significantly predicted distress relative to any other AAP attachment classification. The AAP Agency of Self scale was negatively associated with distress. The results did not support other hypothesized subscale relationships between the two attachment measures. The relative strengths of each measure, and in particular, the AAP's unique assessment of secure base/haven of safety representations were discussed. Limitations, such as the small number of AAP assessed secure participants that precluded interactive analyses, as well as the absence of information regarding the quality of participant's current relationships were reviewed. Future studies investigating the interaction between unresolved attachment and domain-specific attachment orientations will clarify the impact of multiple attachment representations on distress.
