TL;DR: Shaver and Mikulincer have made an outstanding case for their claim that the social psychological approach to measuring attachment in adulthood, via survey type questions about self in romantic relationships, is a valid way of tapping into the IWM and core notions of deactivating, activating, and hyperactivating emotion-regulation strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI

R. M. Pasco Fearon,Jay Belsky +1 more

Journal ArticleDOI
