Repeated priming of attachment security influences immediate and later views of self and relationships
No full textResearch shows that priming attachment security results in positive relationship expectations and affect (Rowe & Carnelley, 2003). We examined whether repetitive priming of attachment security (e.g., experimentally activating cognitive representations of attachment security) would have more lasting effects on relationship- and self-views. Participants provided baseline measures at Time 1. On 3 occasions (across 3 days), we primed participants with attachment security or a neutral prime (Times 2–4). Two days later (Time 5), participants completed trait-level measures not preceded by a prime. As expected, those repeatedly primed with attachment security reported more positive relationship expectations, more positive self-views, and less attachment anxiety at Time 5 than at Time 1; those primed with neutral primes showed no change with time. These priming effects last longer than those typically found
Texting "boosts" felt security
No full textAttachment security can be induced in laboratory settings (e.g., Rowe & Carnelley, 2003) and the beneficial effects of repeated security priming can last for a number ofdays (e.g., Carnelley & Rowe, 2007). The priming process, however, can be costly in terms of time. We explored the effectiveness of security priming via text message.Participants completed a visualisation task (a secure attachment experience or neutral experience) in the laboratory. On three consecutive days following the laboratory task, participants received (secure or neutral) text message visualisation tasks. Participants inthe secure condition reported significantly higher felt security than those in the neutral condition, immediately after the laboratory prime, after the last text message prime and one day after the last text prime. These findings suggest that security priming via text messages is an innovative methodological advancement that effectively induces felt security, representing a potential direction forward for security priming research
Priming a sense of security: what goes through people’s minds?
No full textThere is a growing literature charting the positive personaland interpersonal effects of security priming. Security primesenhance self- and relationship views, and even evaluationsof outgroups, relative to control primes. We examine howsecurity priming is experienced by individuals and how itseffects differ from those produced by other positive affect andrelationship-related primes. We analyze the written protocolsproduced by individuals in different priming conditions forfrequency of felt security, care, merging, agency, communion,and nostalgia words. Security priming led to thoughts relatedto felt security, positive care, a sense of merging with another,positive emotion, and communion; furthermore, the effectsof security priming could be distinguished from the effects ofpositive affect and other relationship-related primes. We discussseveral directions for future research

Attachment style differences in the processing of attachment-relevant information: primed-style effects on recall, interpersonal expectations, and affect
No full textThe present study explored processing biases resulting from manipulating the temporal accessibility of relational schemas. By priming relational schemas, relationship–specific attachment styles were activated and their biasing effect on relevant information processing (namely recall for attachment–relevant words versus other words, interpersonal expectations, and affect) was examined. It was found that participants primed with a secure–style relational schema recalled more positive attachment words than those primed with an avoidant style. Although pre–priming endorsements of interpersonal expectations were influenced by global attachment style, once primed, participants showed primed–style–congruent responses. That is, primed secures showed higher endorsement of positive and lower endorsement of negative interpersonal expectations relative to the other primed style groups. Finally, primed secures reported more positive and less negative affect than the other primed style groups. Implications for understanding the way differential attachment experiences influence close relationships through life are considered

Preliminary support for the use of a hierarchical mapping technique to examine attachment networks
No full textIn 2 studies, we investigated the validity and usefulness of a bull's eye hierarchical mapping measure to examine the content and structure of attachment networks. The bull's eye identified network differences between people of different attachment styles and between different ages. Attachment networks varied in the number of members and their hierarchical organization as a function of attachment style. Secure individuals included a higher number of secure relationships in their networks and placed them closer to the core self than their insecure relationships, as well as closer than did dismissing-avoidant individuals. The bull's eye also allowed for the observation of meaningful interrelations between network members. Study 2 utilized a cross-sectional design by which we observed network fluidity from mid- to late-adolescence in addition to attachment style differences. One important finding was that late-adolescents placed their friends closer to the core self than did midadolescents, reflecting increased use of peers as close attachment figures
Attachment security priming: testing a new intervention for children and young people with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties
No full textAttachment security priming (ASP) techniques have resulted in many positive outcomes including increased felt-security, an affective attachment state associated with optimal emotional regulation and relationship functioning. To date, however, ASP studies have almost exclusively been conducted with adult samples. This randomised experimental study investigated whether ASP could increase felt-security in adolescents with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties. We further examined the security-related themes of the written protocols produced as part of the ASP procedure, allowing for the observation of the cognitions activated by the primes. Two prime groups (N=100, Mage=14.5) completed a mental imagery and written priming task; the experimental group visualised a security-inducing attachment figure, whilst the control group visualised a shopping trip. The experimental group reported significantly higher felt-security (ηp2=.252) and wrote significantly more words related to attachment-relevant themes in their written protocols, compared to the control group. Findings demonstrate the potential of using ASP techniques to improve felt-security and associated outcomes in adolescents with SEMH difficulties
The relationship between attachment style and placement of parents in adults’ attachment networks over time
No full textUsing a bull’s-eye hierarchical mapping technique (HMT), the presentstudy examined placement of parents in adults’ attachment networksover time. We hypothesized that attachment style wouldpredict distance at which network members (mother, father, andromantic partner) would be placed from the core-self over time.Participants completed the HMT on two occasions, 12 monthsapart. Concurrently and over time, fathers were placed further fromthe core-self than mothers. Attachment style explained unique variance,beyond that accounted for by individual and relationshipcharacteristics. Specifically, network members with whom participantsreported greater attachment insecurity were placed furtherfrom the core-self concurrently. Mothers with whom participantsreported greater attachment insecurity were placed further fromthe core-self over time. Unsatisfactory attachment relationshipswith father and partner and those marked by higher attachmentinsecurity were more likely to be excluded from attachment networksover time. Findings suggest that attachment style, relationship quality,romantic relationship status, and parents’ marital status determinethe placement of parents in adults’ attachment networks
