How was your day? Couples’ affect when telling and hearing daily events (2008, background): “Increasingly, researchers have conceptualized individual differences in attachment security (i.e., levels of anxiety and avoidance) as differences in capacities and strategies for affect regulation (e.g., Kobak & Sceery, 1988; Mikulincer, Shaver, & Pereg, 2003; Shaver & Mikulincer, 2002).”

The Impact of Parents on Their Children’s Problematic Mobile Phone Involvement (2019, background): “…attachment of children to their parents can influence a healthy use of the mobile phone: By facilitating the development of (a) self-regulation (e.g., Mikulincer et al., 2003), (b) social competence (Groh et al., 2014), and (c) positive and secure social relationships (e.g., Furman et al., 2002).”

Insecure attachment and personality disorder: a twin study of adults (2007, background): “Nevertheless, a large body of literature has shown that self-reported attachment between adults predicts relationship variables, affect regulation and psychopathology as expected based on attachment theory (Carnelley, Pietromonaco, & Jaffe, 1994; Mikulincer et al., 2003; Nakash-Eisikovits, Dutra, & ”
Adult Attachment, Perceived Discrimination Based on Sexual Orientation, and Depression in Gay Males: Examining the Mediation and Moderation Effects (2006, methodology): “Several empirical studies on adult attachment have indicated that individuals with different attachment dimensions use different and distinct affect regulation strategies for managing their depression or distress (for a review, see Fuendeling, 1998; Lopez & Brennan, 2000; Mikulincer et al., 2003).”
Review Is Parent–Child Attachment a Correlate of Children’s Emotion Regulation and Coping?
