High levels of emotional expressiveness are more commonly associated with people with preoccupied relationship styles.

Question 7

According to research, a person with which relationship style is least likely to accept abuse in relationships

Accepted Answer

Individuals who have a secure attachment style tend to have a positive self-image, good self-esteem and a healthy view of relationships. They are less likely to accept abuse in relationships, as they have a greater sense of self-worth, and are more likely to establish healthy boundaries within their relationships. In addition, they are more likely to seek support from others and to communicate effectively, which can help them to identify and address abusive behavior in their relationships. In contrast, individuals with ambivalent, avoidant, or fearful attachment styles may be more likely to accept abuse in relationships, as they may have a lower sense of self-worth, struggle with communication or lack support from others.

Question 8

Which relationship style showed low levels of self-disclosure, intimacy, reliance on others, and self-confidence

Accepted Answer

The relationship style that is characterized by low levels of self-disclosure, intimacy, reliance on others, and self-confidence is the fearful style. This style is often developed as a result of past traumas or negative experiences in close relationships. People with a fearful style may have a strong desire for intimacy and connection but are also afraid of being hurt or rejected. This can lead to a cycle of avoiding intimacy and relationships altogether or becoming overly clingy and dependent on their partners. The preoccupied style is characterized by a high need for intimacy but a low sense of self-worth, while the dismissing style is characterized by a high level of self-confidence but a tendency to avoid intimacy and emotional connection. The secure style, on the other hand, is characterized by an ability to form intimate relationships based on trust, self-disclosure, and healthy communication.

Question 11

Which attachment style is more likely to engage in successful, long-term relationships

Accepted Answer

Individuals with a secure attachment style are more likely to engage in successful, long-term relationships because they have a positive view of themselves and their partners, are comfortable with intimacy and autonomy, and are skilled at communication and conflict resolution. They are able to seek support from their partner when they need it and provide support when their partner needs it, which fosters trust, safety, and satisfaction in the relationship. Their emotional stability and resilience enable them to face challenges and transitions together, fostering relationship growth and longevity. On the other hand, individuals with anxious, ambivalent, or fearful attachment styles may struggle with trust, dependence, and self-doubt, which can lead to relationship conflicts, breakups, or unfulfillment.

This is referred to as the attachment style framework, which includes secure attachment, anxious-preoccupied attachment, dismissive-avoidant attachment, and fearful-avoidant attachment.
