The authors investigated whether couples' attachment styles have an impact on perceived social support from partner and on support provided by partner. Eighty-seven couples (174 individuals) completed questionnaires measuring perceived social support from partner (SWS-P scale) and providing partner with the social support (PDWS-P scale). The discrepancy indices (e.g., discrepancy between support provided by wife and husband's perception of support from wife) were employed among depended variables. Adult Attachment Questionnaire (Hazan & Shaver, 1987) was used to measure attachment styles. Husband's attachment style predicted social support in men but not in women. Secure husbands perceived more social support from wives and provided wives with more support than insecure husbands. Moreover, husbands attachment styles accounted for the variance of discrepancy indices of social support (e.g., actual reciprocity of social support). The results show that attachment styles (as probably other personality variables) should be considered in social support studies.

The purpose of the paper is twofold: It attempts to answer the question whether young adults in describing their particular attachment style use attributes proposed by modern concepts of love, and it attempts to describe the structure these attributes in those self-descriptions. Three hundred and ninety-three people participated in the study. Research confirmed the hypothesis that the structure of attributes included in the self-descriptions corresponds to modern evolutionary and psycho-social concepts of what shapes intimate relationships. Factors singled out of the descriptions correspond to short- and long-term strategies, described by Buss (1995, 1996), that are used by women and men, to tell them that their partner is a good object of attachment, as well as being socially desirable. A general hypothesis that people differing by attachment style will differ in their self-descriptions has also been confirmed. The results are interpreted from the point of view of evolutionary and psycho-social paradigms.

The study is based on the assumption that the attachment system is closely related to the religiosity and religious behaviour. Previous research showed that a type of attachment was related to religious conversion. Insecure attachment was related to sudden and emotional conversion and secure attachment was related to gradual adoption of caregiver’s religion. The present research focused in more detail on the relationship between attachment styles and the religious conversion process. 101 Christian converts filled out the Religious Conversion Process Questionnaire measuring different aspects of how conversion came about, and two attachment questionnaires: Attachment History Paragraphs for measuring attachment towards parents and Relationship Questionnaire measuring attachment in the current relationships. Pearson correlation analysis of the relations between conversion dimensions and attachment styles showed that secure attachment towards parents was related to the presence of some religiosity education before conversion and parents being a positive factor in the conversion. On the other hand, insecure attachment toward parents (especially toward the father) correlated with experiencing religious conversion as a more sudden, emotionally driven process accompanied by mystical experiences. These results gave support to both, compensation and socialized correspondence hypotheses as described in attachment and religion research and theory.

Experiences in Close Relationship-Revisited (ECR-R) are the most frequently used measure of self-reported adult attachment. Numerous studies have shown its general utility and similarity across language translations and cultures; some studies showed important differences in attachment style structure and also the need to reword/adapt some items. We explored the psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R on a general adult sample (Study 1, n = 921). In Study 2 (n = 100) participants also filled out the Slovak version of NEO-FFI for further information on its relation to the major personality structure theory for concurrent and sEMBU for convergent validity. The results showed good psychometric properties of the Slovak translation of ECR-R. Factor analysis sorted items to scales exactly as authors of ECR-R presupposed. We found mild to moderate correlation between Anxiety and Neuroticism and Avoidance and Neuroticism; and mild correlation to some sEMBU scales. We also discuss what would help to improve knowledge and utility of the Slovak version of ECR-R.

The aim of the study is to propose a framework based on personality dynamics to interpret the results of a personality questionnaire used by occupational psychologists during management counseling, personnel selection, and employee development. The source for the interpretative framework is the attachment dynamics arising from the adult attachment theory (Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007). The study also demonstrates how the interpretative framework may be applied to employees’ personality trait data. The study builds on the results of implemented meta-analyses (Barrick & Mount, 2012; Barrick, Mount, & Judge, 2001) which claim that the question of the relation of personality structure and work behavior criteria, participating in overall job performance, has been resolved. The current results show that one of the theories that offers an insight into motivational processes affecting the manifestation of personality dispositions in work behavior is the adult attachment theory, and in particular the attachment theory in the workplace (Engel & Straatmann, 2017; Harms, 2011; Leiter, Day, & Price, 2015; Mikulincer & Shaver, 2007). The theory originally proposed by Bowlby (2010), and further developed by his colleagues, surpassed the borders of developmental and clinical psychology, and currently finds its applications in other fields; such as psychology of work and organizations. The attachment motivational processes may be operationalized through the major forces of attachment dynamics. The primary and dominant force is to obtain and maintain the real or imaginary closeness of key attachment figures in the situation of danger, threat, and uncertainty. The results of the study may concurrently be used as a tool in diagnosing the traits and secondary attachment strategies as a functional whole, providing information on the personality traits and situations under which the traits will be manifested in behavior. In particular, the proposed interpretative framework is intended for use in personnel selection and counseling.
