Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described behavior pattern is characteristic of individuals with insecure anxious attachment styles, who are preoccupied with interpersonal relationships and tend to be hyper-vigilant to signs of rejection or abandonment. This attachment style is often rooted in early experiences of inconsistent or inadequate caregiving, which can lead to a persistent fear of rejection and abandonment in close relationships. Neophobia refers to an aversion to new or unfamiliar objects or experiences, and is not directly related to social anxiety or attachment styles. A spillover effect refers to the transfer of affect or behavior from one context to another, and social facilitation refers to the tendency for the presence of others to enhance or impair performance on a given task, depending on various factors. While anxiety about social interactions may impact social facilitation (e.g., increasing self-consciousness and arousal), it is not the same as the underlying attachment style described here.
