Abstract

Recently there has been numerous studies concerning about adult attachment, especially in Western countries. Studies on adult attachment offer the developmental and time-series perspective to understand interpersonal relationship because they are based on Bowlby’s attachment theory. Having these benefits, adult attachment studies have been conducted from various points of view, and the amount of knowledge has been accumulated. However, problems involved in adult attachment studies increase while their research areas are extending. This paper firstly makes brief reference to Bowlby’s attachment theory which is the root of adult attachment studies, and then, notes two methods of adult attachment measure mainly used in recent researches (the Adult Attachment Interview—AAI and the Adult Attachment Questionnaire—AAQ). After that, this paper reviews several empirical studies concerning adult attachment, focusing mostly on studies with self-report adult attachment questionnaires.
