Describe how adults with secure, avoidant, and ambivalent attachment patterns differ
What will be an ideal response?
Secure people describe their love relationships as happier, friendlier, and more trusting. They also report longer-lasting relationships. Avoidant people are less accepting of partner faults and are less likely to report currently being in love or ever having been in love. Ambivalent adults are intensely preoccupied with love relations, experience extreme highs and lows in their relationships, and are more likely to report having fallen in love "at first sight."
